Not that it couldn't have happened sooner (because of weather), but I finally 'fired da Mutha up', and got some long overdue, sweet, sweet, wind
As mentioned in a previous post, Wisconsin has had a very strange winter, with the bulk of our measurable snow, happening within the past month or so... Yesterday, temperature reached a tie with our previous all time (for the date), of 66. It was time.
Went to the garage after having my morning coffee, unhooked the charger, rolled the beast off the center stand, squirted some air in the tires, and turned on the gas... Full choke, a few cycles of the starter, and she roared to life
Finished a few morning chores, dusted off the boots, geared up, and rolled on the throttle
The all too familiar music of that magnificent six singing to me as I made my way out of the neighborhood was loooong overdue! I had no destination in mind, just wanted to give her a good opening day run, and that I did. My brother’s house is about 7 miles from mine. When I rolled in to his driveway, I had just over 40 miles behind me
After a quick chat, I headed to the store about 5 miles from his place... Well, that lil' jaunt added another 30 miles
All in all, I was just under 100 miles by the time I got home... Not too long, long enough, and the first wind of the season, or as I call it 'Mental Floss'
Got a three day week, and Thursday and Friday are gonna be in the 60's, or so the weather dude zez... I'll be out again... Can't wait, can't wait
