Yahoo! It's 72!

I know you Yankee types are parking your bikes for the winter. But here in Florida, it's FINALLY riding season. It's been a long, hot summer, and frankly it's not a lot of fun to ride when your clothes and helmet are soaked in sweat by the time you roll your bike out of the garage. I'm sure our AZ pals can relate.

We had almost a week of strong northerly winds, and today the temperature broke and is in the low to mid 70's. I took the CB for a spin and it ate it up...amazing what that denser air does for the performance. It's enough of a difference that putting the 2Bros back on without adjusting the fueling is hardly noticeable.

The only bummer is my doc wants to bolt in an artificial left hip. I broke it last November in a bike crash and missed the entire riding season. My left leg is now about 1/2" shorter than the right and I have a hell of a limp. Hurts like a bear much of the time too. He thinks I need to do it before the year ends so I don't screw up my back limping around, but I really don't want to miss another season. Maybe I'll stall him off till late spring...
