What a day
Well yesterday was a glorious day! I had promised my wife I’d stay home and mow the lawn and help her do a few chores, but the weather was just SO BEAUTIFUL and my brother-in-law Will called and said “let’s go for a motorcycle ride.” So off I went like a flash. The heck with mowing the lawn, the grass isn’t going anywhere! Chores can wait! Gimme the chrome and the asphalt streaming below my tires! We rode for at least five hours! We got caught in a short (but severe) storm and had to wait it out under a bridge but Will had packed snacks and water and we ended up sharing with five other bikers who sought shelter under the same bridge and had ourselves a little biker picnic, admiring everyone else’s bikes. (I think MINE was the nicest one there!)
I’ve been putting off buying a windshield, but this trip convinced me that a windshield really IS a good idea. So I’ll be buying one of those as soon as I can. I think it will be one of those quick-detach types. They cost more money, but I think that it will be worth it.
