I owned Harleys in the 1980's and 1990's. Did the two and three day rides with my wife. In early 2000 she no longer wanted to ride and I was tired of the longer rides. In 2003 I purchased a new CB750 Nighthawk. I used to have a 1976 CB550 back in the day and really liked the inline fours. So I started doing 40 to 80 mile daily rides into the foothills and canyons. I thought that Nighthawk was going to be my last bike. . . until the CB1100 came along.
I'm a fair weather rider which is pretty much year round here in Southern Utah. This morning I left early (it's been a little warm around here lately) and took a ride through Snow Canyon State Park and up to Enterprise through the Dixie National Forest and back. About 80 miles in less than two hours. I may do it again tomorrow and the next day. I'm retired. I try to ride every morning or afternoon depending on the weather.
I love the feeling when you increase in elevation and you can feel the temperature drop 10 or 15 degrees. Way cool!
