I have a weekly early morning Bible/ book study on Tuesdays mornings. I rolled out at 6:45 this morning to some brisk temperatures and the ride into town was fantastic. The sun was shining, the wind felt good with my mesh jacket, and the 1800 was singing it’s usual song. It was pure joy.

I hear ya ...my favorite feeling when riding is hitting the road early on a bright morning. The peacefulness along with the anticipation of a great day on the road to come is hard to beat Cool

It's taking all my willpower these days to not get an early early EARLY start on my trip to Billings!

Yup, good to be up on two!

Another big improvement to my riding enjoyment today. My grip puppies came in and I got them installed. They feel just right in size and no more slipping whether I have gloves on or not.

I don’t think so. I just meant that the factory grips were too small in diameter and hard enough plastic that my hands would slip. The grip puppies over the stock grips are just right foe me and no slipping.

While I won't try to take all the credit, I will claim some.   Glad things worked out the way they did.   Very happy I got you back on a motorcycle.  Have fun and be safe.

Yep, I needed a little nudging! I have another meeting this morning and want to ride the Wing but there was a severe fog warning for my area so I opted for the cage. Not a bad decision even though visibility was sufficient, several hundred yards at least. The Vette needed a little exercise too. I predict the bike will roll out of the garage sometime today for no particular reason.
