Finally a warm day in Wis went for my first ride since Oct.
It was cooler along Lake Michigan as usual but a few miles west it was 60 degrees just staying on side roads saw a few bikes out today but with restaurants and bars closed no real places to stop.
But I had a smile for 95 miles today and it felt great.

Jack, I thought I remembered your 6 as being black. Was a nice day but no 60 deg. weather up here in the tundra. More like 54 w/sun but I'll take it.  cooldude

I made it out for a gas run. When I came back, I had to refill the tank. Sadly there was a lot of gravel on the roads and at one point I thought I was riding an 800# dirt bike.  Tongue

nice newer Valk and is that a mustang behind that big beast?   why does it (besides being closer) does your cycle look bigger than your car? 

Nice long driveway and nice yard.  I bet you have a nice big riding mower as well?   Do you have a plow truck do your driveway for a snowblower would take a long, long time back and forth? 

We have been couped up long enough going to get 2 wheels out this Sunday and re-instate my cycle insurance fully vs. just on the winter policy now,  at least on one bike. 

Since I am no longer for most of April driving into work (stay at home work) and the weather in the morning at 7 a.m. is still too darn cold in mid 30's to drive cycle into work if had to but that morning temps will be going up very soon,  I will have to use that 430 p.m HOME time now vs. normal 530p.m. to get out next week if no rain and get er dun!   cooldude

Never worked from home before and LOVE IT!  NO near 2 hours drive time, no traffic to deal with, no waste of 100 bucks in gas now per month, and no 1400 miles per month on both our vehicles,  I have enough food in the house to survive one month at home to maintain social distancing....  Win win win situation especially not talking to anyone at work for 1 month....

You are right John my F6B is black, but that's my Valkyrie.

Oh good grief, I only noticed the color and didn't even look at the bike itself. Yes....it's an 1800 version of the Valk. Come to think upon it....an F6b....AND an 1800 Valkyrie. Can't hide money!  cooldude

John,
Jack has been trying to hide his money for a long time, we have been able to see through it though.

Yep,  that mustang looks way too small with that red machine in front of it...   Roll Eyes

I still remember you having that custom painted gray metallic old VAlk tourer I drooled over when you loaned me in PDC that airhawk seat cushion on the VOAI ride in to try out.  You mentioned you were thinking of selling it at the time but I was not ready,  now I have 6 cycles ( 2 are scooters)  in my garage and 2 are kids cycles and 2 are 1520cc valks.  2 wheels is an addiction I guess but should really sell 2 of them as wife has been hounding me religiously on for a few years now.  For 2-3.5K each though not much why let them go right???
