2023 recap .......
Had another good year... 340 days ridden (over 300 for the 6th time out of the last 10 years) and 20,740 miles (over 20K for the 9th time in the last 10 years)
Only missed 25 days of riding all year. Lost 11 days to weather (surprisingly only 1 snow day), 2 days to medical (only 1 for me, but 1 for my younger brother as well) and 12 days to flying/driving vacation with my wife to visit 3 National Parks we hadn't been to in 3 states and another car trip to Mississippi.
My wife bought a Yamaha Scooter and I was able to ride 54 days and 2,564 miles with her.
Attended the CB 1100 rally in Virginia (made all of them so far) after riding down with Empty Sea and OffroadFx4 and back with Offroad. They continue to be good riding companions and friends made through this forum. Was great riding with and visiting with all the forum members who were able to attend the rally....and I got to meet Ollie and Gold Oxide. If you don't make it to one of these rally's, you are really missing out on part of the forum experience...
Was also able to test ride, report back and help transport another forum member/friend Kiowa Eagle from Pennsylvania with the purchase of a bike here in Cincinnati.
Hope you all had a productive year of motorcycling in 2023,
Here's to a healthy happy fun and safe 2024
