So... My 24/7 Oncall for work finally ended and went straight into nasty COLD WET rainy days here for a while...
And then this morning, I got up...
Sun was shining
Temp in the mid 50's, 'sposed to max out in the upper 60's...
All excuses were gone.
I got on and started riding, didn't even know where, just rode... Ended up at a favorite gun store, browsed for a while, but decided not to buy (Saving for my trip to the Arctic ocean next summer)
Did some quick calculations, and pointed 'er back towards home...
Ended up in a school parking lot near my house with the odometer looking kinda like this:
After a few laps around the parking lot, it looked more like this:
And eventually, it finally happened...
And then I had to stand back a bit... Even after all those years, miles and neglect, the countless times she's been ridden hard and put away wet, the countless times she's NOT been washed, she's still quite a fine looking motorcycle, if I do say so myself!
And then, I had to pull over for one more shot on the way home...
Had to get this shot taken today:
To match the shot I took almost 10 years ago when I bought the bike brand new:
And now, to celebrate... I think I'm gonna go for a ride!
