I started by moving the CB and Guzzi 1200 Sport onto the driveway so I could sweep out the accumulated leaves and dirt that is a result of bringing a car with wheel wells full of snow into the garage.
Looked like it was going to rain, but when I thought 'enough of this cleaning up,' instead of pushing the CB back in the garage, I put on boots, jacket, gloves and helmet and took 'black beauty' out for 15-20 miles. Just around the neighborhood, but she felt really nice. Started right up after sitting for 3 months. I really appreciated the feel of the lighter fork springs, Race Tech emulators, and Ikon rear shocks a riding buddy of mine and I installed last season.
We'll be 40 degrees cooler tomorrow, so wanted to sneak in a short ride while I could.

It was in the mid 70s here in s. Texas so I couldn’t resist a short ride too so I rode some back roads and although only went about 50 miles it sure felt good to make a short round on my CB. I feel very blessed to own a bike like this.

Got to 62 here so I had to take the cb out after work. A nice hour and a half ride. Had to put up with some rush hour traffic until I got out of town but had a big smile on my face even through that.

Was an OK day here too and I needed to relieve some cabin fever, so I rode a 250 km loop over the local mountain.
Stopped to eat and admire the bike ...

Then met this bloke just around the corner.

Cormanus: Don't see many snakes like that in our neck of the woods - especially in winter (my gosh, it is still winter).
Yes, nature is currently washing the extra salt off the roads today just in time for some sub-zero temperatures overnight.
We'll get there.

Certainly is here. Blizzard conditions yesterday. Interstates were closed in all four directions out of town for hundreds of miles and Denver International Airport closed six runways and cancelled over 1000 flights. 70 mph winds and 14" of snow at my place. Come on June!

Heck, we get road snakes in the city and it is a circus riding through them in the summer ( = winter Down Under
).
