Did you ride today

I thought it would be fun to read about our riding adventures.

I got out today and rode 54 miles on my Yamaha 850XS. The sky was blue and it was a warm 62 degrees afternoon, just right for the first ride of the year. The bike fired right up and ran like a champ no problems after sitting in the garage for 3 months. I buy my gas from a place that has 100% gas, no ethanol. I rode alone as I do most of the time. I have several routes, I call them laps, than I ride. Today's was on the river road run that is nice with a lot of curves and scenic views of the lake. The roads are all two lane and not very much traffic. The posted speed limits are 45 but on my bike 60 feels just right. Some of this is why I love to ride in the country; number of red lights 1, no. of cars I needed to pass 1, cars that passed me 0, cop cars 0, curves in the road many, smiles on my face - all the time. I didn't want to come home but the sun was going down and so was the temperature so I returned to my nest. I can't tell you how great that ride made me feel. Hell, I don't need to , you already know. Get busy riding my brothers and sisters and let's hear about it. Photos would be great too.

What do you do when it's Mother's Day (in the U.S.) and you have a face only a mother could love? You go for a ride and take a Glamour Shots type photo to send to her.

A little hazy on the ride today. Devils Tower & Spearfish Canyon. I've heard there is a big fire up in Canada.

Went out for some BBQ from Lockhart today, came back with the saddlebags full of a couple hundred dollars worth of brisket.

In Luling, I caught a glimpse of someone on a newer , I think it was a Springfield, idk, I didn’t get a good look. Any chance it was a member here?

I made it to Harrah’s Casino Kansas City, I saw two other bikes parked in an area that is claimed as the motorcycle parking, so I joined them. I saw another Indian at my sandwich stop earlier in the day. A lot of bugs to clean on goggles, face shield, go pro, headlight, quarter fairing, and hand guards…
