Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

The weather here has been terrible for months. Ordinally I would have 2 months of good riding under my belt by now. But I went for just my second motorcycle ride of the year, and it was only to the nearest Shoppers Drug Mart to pick up a prescription.

I am usually reluctant not to wear my boots and leather jacket, but it was just to
nice a day to bundle up in hot clothing. Felt like a 20 year old again scooting around the city in a shirt, jeans and running shoes. The only safety equipment was my open face helmet and deer skin gloves.

Take calculated risks and live it up while we can. Many old guys on their HD in just a t-shirt and brain bucket filling the air with their (*cough*), tones.

As Ferret has said, "I am not tough enough to ride a Harley".

I feel sheepish when I pull into a rest stop with Harley riders wearing just T-shirts, and I am peeling off fleeced lined gloves and a leather jacket lined with a down filled jacket.

Good thing the long underwear and flannel lined jeans are not apparent, or may take a lot of ribbing.
