Did not go far
Did not go too much over the speed limit
But it felt good to start the bike and hear how nice it sounds when the air is cool.
I would swear the dragon runs beefier when it is cool out
45 is not cold, yet still just the mesh jacket and still under 114000 on the odometer. Will work on that this summer but the bmw still gets all the weekday riding. Wont subject either dragon to nyc potholes anymore
Hope some of you got out for a bit, just to clear the head

It's 56 degrees here in NE Indiana. 50s for a few more days yet. Unfortunately I have already put the Valk on its jack and canceled the insurance so it's stuck there until spring. It need tires anyway so......

What a nice little country range. I had always hoped to have something like that in my back yard. |

What a nice little country range. I had always hoped to have something like that in my back yard. I can walk out of my front door and blast away if I desire. Sometimes I do desire and never had a visit from a neighbor or anyone else. I can fire directly at a few fallen trees lying on the mountainside next to my house. I keep this to the air rifle and S&W MP 15-22. Anything else seems noisily antisocial. |

at least with my insurance you can call them up same day (or day before preferably) and get off what I have is the layaway winter plan which cancels the collision being the majority of the premium pricing. I can do that for 1 cycle or all 5 of them even if for 1 day and get it covered and then at the end of the day call them up and put it back on the winter program again costs like 1-2 bucks per day is all to do, well worth it. was 54 today here in WI light winds but darn in-laws and all......  Roads though for some reason were all wet in spots all over and tons of salt all over the roads pretty disgusting out. |

Wish I could have gone for a ride today but my day was still a good one! At least I got to walk around the block holding the hand of my sweetheart! |

Cheaper for me in my case to keep M/C ins on her all the time. Where I live I'm subject to ride on any day in any month. Yup cookie-we were up near Madison today for Christmas supper with some of my S I Ls relatives. Had a good time and good food and a shot and a half of Jamesons Irish Whiskey neat. 12 had long stretches that were wet-moisture attracted to the salt residue.  BUT the traffic was Very light going north and coming back south. Saw only 3 or 4 18 wheelers going n and not a one coming back s. Happy some of y'all gotz yer knees in da breeze! RIDE SAFE. |

The fat girl and I got about glorious 80 miles in on Christmas day. Rode to my daughter's and spent Christmas with her and her Significant Other and his family. They all ride HDs. It was a fun day. Rams  |

I couldn't ride on Christmas, we did a cookout at my house. I did ride in to work today and plan on the long way home this afternoon.

Nice to see those getting out for a ride this time of year. Been out some at home recently as the weather has been just above freezing and no snow yet, but Christmas morning for the Mrs and me was spent driving a few hours North to our youngest daughter & son in law's place to spend a couple days with them. Then we fly from here tomorrow to a lot further up North in BC to our other daughter & son in law's place to be part of our new granddaughter's first Christmas. There'll be lots of snow and well below freezing temps for us up there. First leg of our trip went OK, was a nice easy Wintery drive up.  |
