Default Season is open!

First ride of the season today. Damn was it nice. Just a short 4 mile rip to work...but it felt GREAT to be riding. And the Buell runs AWESOME in cold weather.

Got up a little early...but the battery back in it. Checked tire pressure, checked lights, brakes. Everything good. Fired right up. (How I love F.I. bikes.)

Man oh man.



Here's a pic of the bike sitting in the lot at work.

Very nice, I am making my maiden voyage to work on the bike tomorrow. Whimped out due to the cold and possibility of rain this morning.

Roads are wet, but mostly clear. It rained last night. Supposed to be in the mid 50's today and mid 60's tomorrow.

I'm glad I live in the south...especially when it comes to the bike.

Nice looking bike...congrats on the season's maiden voyage.
