I got my first ride of 2015 in today. Starting was a breeze once I remembered to turn the gas on.

A couple of pounds of air in the rear tire and I was good to go.
I knew it wouldn't be a quick little ride cause once I get going I have to go further. My thermometer read 35 degrees but it's usually warmer than that. There was a little ice left on my road but clear sailing after that.
The sun was shining with light winds. I only saw two other bikes. There were two state troopers along the way so I had to be a good boy.
Passing a dump truck just as he hit a bump got me on a cloud of sand and dust. Not a problem.
130 miles of bliss. I now have a fresh tank of gas and am good to go again.
Life is good!......again
