Default that feeling

Anybody just love that feeling when on cold mornings <50 and you take off on your journey and while the bike is still cold and sluggish and kinda of just chugging along you see that bigssweeping turn up ahead....as you approach that turn your engine warms to that optimal temperature and as you grab a handful of throttle you can feel your bike just come alive all the way through that turn! You exit that apex with a smile on your face and a screaming v twin that gets better gas mileage than a cage and gives you that feeling of freedom and belonging amongst your brotherhood of two wheeled breatheren. Whew ok now y'all know I'm having a great morning regardless of the election


I wish you, my buddies, many miles, many smiles, and fair weather in your future!

Love morning rides, until I hit rush hour traffic.

It always feels great to get on the bike. It was about a week since I rode, I had a meeting at Church to go to, I jumped on the bike to go to the meeting and boy, it felt GREAT.

I'll be taking a nice long ride this morning to clear my head of the post Tuesday night cobwebs. And yes it's a great temperature here in NorCal and I have a nice twisty road in mind for my mental health exercise....

I'm looking forward to that feeling...I've had one ride in over a week now. I took off Thurs & Fri, but they are calling for freakin' snow this evening. Arrrgggh.
