Thanksgiving Day Ride
#1



Getting ready to head out for a Thanksgiving Day ride on the CB before heading over to my sons house for a traditional holiday feast. Weatherman has blessed us with an unusually good forecast with sunny skies and temps in the 60's. Awesome for the end of November. Will post up pics this afternoon.

For those who are able to ride today, please take extra caution. Lots of cars and travelers on the road today. Many more than usual, and we want all forum members and their families to enjoy this day to the fullest, so be careful out there today folks. Thumbs Up

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ferret

Not a day for a ride in Florida. Way too dangerous especially on interstates, make that EVERYWHERE! Too many unfamiliar TOURISTS that do not look before stopping (not at light or intersection, just stopping because they are lost - even with a gps, or need to collect their thoughts - as if they have any when they drive), slamming on brakes, and the best one, making turns out of the blue without a signal or thought to look first (turn now Martha, it's over there). No offense to any Martha(s) in the group.

The above seems like an LOL, but unfortunately it is a sad, dangerous daily event only to rise during any holiday or snowbird season commutes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all members in the US and to members overseas, Happy Thursday or Friday.

Enjoy your ride, Mickey! I'd go for a short one along the coast but have too much cooking to do.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I used to when I used to live in Jax, but the tourists passing through mid-state are unbelievably on a mission to crash. Speaking of crashing, how are the Jags doing? You should take a trip south and watch the other FL team instead. If I could, I would ride the bike to ATL next weekend, but it'll be the car.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Great day here on the MD eastern shore, great day for a ride, BUT the wife has the day planned out. Over to the Kids for Thanksgiving dinner and football, then the worst part, Black Friday shopping on Thursday evening. Great riding weather should trump Black Friday shopping, but every married man knows how it goes.Sad

No riding in Western Montana today - right now the digital mercury is at 10 degrees.

I'm having withdrawl. Two weeks ago I wheeled out the CB to show to a prospective buyer...we warmed it up and rode it around the block...temperature at the time was 42 and raining, and dang if I didn't want to just keep going.

Insurance suspended, though. And I've got the gas treated. Hey, if I hit the lotto this winter...I can keep ALL my bikes!
