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.

Bike is fixed, picked it up yesterday. Everything seems to be running fine.
I'm enjoying a short break at the gas station on 21&Z. Sell great polish meats there. I bought some for grilling this week.

Made it to Colorado…the steel horse has been trusty…I went through some gas stations in Western Nebraska with no 91 or 93 gas, had to use my saddlebag fuel to get to the next gas station with 91…I have to clean the dead bugs off the Rogue daily…

SoCal is known for “May Gray” and “June Gloom” where it’s overcast and damp almost every day. Finally got some sunlight so, thirty miles later- the head is a little bit clearer.
