Took advantage of temps mostly in the high 50s today and took what is probably the last ride of 2021. After Friday the WX turns more seasonable with a wintry mix forecast for my area on Saturday. The salt trucks will be out. I left the house about 11:30 and headed to the Sunshine Cafe in Clinton, MA for a delicious Irish Benedict. After lunch I got on route 62 west till its end in Barre. From there, back roads to the Country Store in Petersham where I picked up a few stocking stuffers. Then 32 N to 2 E to 140 S to home. There's skiing at Wachusett Mountain with man-made snow. Hopefully they're going to get a little help from Mother Nature on Saturday. Pulled into my driveway at 4:00 with 124 miles on the trip odometer. Felt great to be back on the bike after about a month of no riding.  |

I took advantage of the 60+ temps in Motown today, it was very windy, but I had recently changed the oil, hydraulics, and rear brakes on my Goldwing, but did not have the weather to road test it. I got that done today, all is well.

Glad that all is well. It will be already for next season. |

Thanks Gary. Had a nice ride through Sterling yesterday. In Petersham there was a guy and his wife on the same Indian that you and Deb had. Talked to him for a while. He had questions about the Wing. Had a nice chat.  |

Tom not surprised that you build a snowboard rack for your Spyder. You're very creative. Glad to know you're able to now snowboard without pain. Pretty cool for a guy in his seventies. |

Tony, did I just hear you complaining about not being able to ride your bike for a month? Let me introduce you to Kathy.
Going to go look at a 2018 Road Glide this morning with my brother. If it is what I want, then the real discussion begins.
Keep posting your rides. I love vicariously through you.

How did it go looking at the Road Glide? I know you've been riding for a long time and that it's part of who you are. I hope Kathy comes around. I'd like to see you on two wheels and be able to ride with you again. |

YB, TonyC, yes Kathy knew. She was not happy. But it was priced more for what it was. Now Kathy is happy again.

It's a tough market out there, rather cars, trucks, m/c, or houses... At least you made Kathy happy Paul..... |
