I couldn't wait any longer and got my CB and Ulysses out of storage today. Normally I would wait for a few more rain storms to clean the salt off the roads but they look fairly good right now.
Both bikes fired up right away so I took each for a short ride. I was apprehensive at first but the back pain wasn't too bad, I took it easy and only did 30km on the Ulysses and 20km on the CB and that was about all I could handle anyway.
Riding the bikes back to back like that certainly highlighted the short comings in the CB's suspension so I'll have to get the new stuff installed before doing much riding.
It felt so good to be back on a bike, it was a little cold (just above freezing) but my HD FXRG gear makes short work of the cold. I swear that gear is good enough for snowmobiling.
My goal is to get out every day and work up to the long ride to the rally.
