A Little Wind Therapy Today

[old2soon]

Got her down off the lift 1-31-2012. Test ride of about 12 miles 2-1-2012. All the big and little pieces stayed on anywho. So after it warmed up a tad(35 degrees don't get it no more fer me) fired her up and headed out. Have not ridden since about a week and a half Before Christmas. Boring 4 lane so i could get gas. And no large hurry but found myself grinning like a fool-again. Down to one of my favorite local roads here Mo. 14 east from Ava to West Plains. Has enough rolling hills and twistys to keep most anyone busy. The twistys were surprise surprise mostly sand and salt free. Had enough rain to clean the roads off. And this time of year that be a good thing. Soooo i had 145 miles of wind therapy today and a big emphatic YES the wind tasted rather sweet. To all my brothers and sisters that are in the cluthes of winter-there is hope. At the micky ds in Ava saw a goldwing trike a harley trike a bagger harley and two of those overgrown scooters Honda sells. After talking with all of them(grey beards like me)we all agreed retirement aint so bad after all. Oh-it got to 62 degrees here today. RIDE SAFE.

63 here, passed two sport bikes, multiple Harleys, and lotsa cars.

It was a nice sunny day here as well.

Not retired, just had a day off.

Must work Friday and Saturday.

Retirement is my dream.

I'll be retired 3 years the 13th of this month. When i was out shopping for my retirement presento to my self that big green and silver I/S ambushed me. And that IS NOT by any stretch of the imagination a bad thing. The local weather guessers are calling for rain tommorrow. I sincerely hope da be WRONG.  Well with the service taken care of she waits for me with a full tank of 87 octane for both of us to partake of that wind therapy-soon.   RIDE SAFE.

I know that road!  You wandered a ways away from home.

I like running it east or west. Has some good technical sections and a pretty ride anytime i get there. I like Mo. 19 around Emminence Mo. I still have a lot of exploring to do right here in my back yard. Draw a circle 125 miles from Willow Springs and dats a good sized backyard. Mo. 17 south out of West Plains into Arkansas is another fine ride. If it don't rain 2moro i see more wind therapy in my future. RIDE SAFE.

highway 19 from "44" all the way to Alton is my favorite. go that way when i visit my parents graves.

And from the looks of the weather radar i most likely won't get out today. I am in dire need of more therapy. And BEFORE ya'll say it or think it i'm talkin wind therapy here. RIDE SAFE.

  Don't fergit to stop in Emminence in the summer for some of THE best soft serve ice cream you will ever get anywhere. Somebody told me they make a good burger there to. And for you folks that have not run Mo. 19 yet and are planning to-watch out and beware of the crotch rockets on the weelends. RIDE SAFE.
