1st ride of 2017 - the Ferret - 01-01-2017

well first official ride of 2017 was a short one. Weather forecast was good. 33 degrees to start going to 48. My wife asked if she could go this afternoon, so I figured my first ride would be a solo on the CB...starting 2017 as I ended 2016

However once I got up on the hill at the top of my drive it started getting foggy

by the time I got out to the main road I could barely see..fog drops had covered my faceshield, so I raised, it, then they covered my glasses so I lowered them. Could barely see cars coming

I decided this was nuts lol, and turned around and went back home. First official ride covered a whole 5 miles.

Going to wait for it to burn off and head back out later.

I give you an a for affort.
My 1st ride for this year was leaving downtown austins bar scene at 1am to go hit another.

We had some really nice mid 70s degree temp this few days. And forecasting the same for the next 4-5 days.

Fog burned off by 11:15 so headed out again on the CB and rode another 35 miles.

Wife wants a ride so going back out on ST about 3 PM

RE: 1st ride of 2017 - Wisedrum - 01-01-2017

Today it was raining the whole day through in my part of Germany, which made me feel very disappointed, not to welcome 2017 the best way I could, with a motorbike ride.
But tomorow is the day, the weather forecast promises no rain and off I go.

Happy New Year to everyone in the forum!
