Got some nice ones down to the cemetary. Many of them have a nice lil bank to them on the outside with a long sweep so you can lay into them pretty good. Got a few back to back doubles to.
Down side was i was running back so didnt get a lot. Been going the other way past the cemetary id of had about 10 miles of nothing but curves...lol

Seen a pretty fair number of bikes on the slab, almost got tired of waveing. Waved to a couple of sportbikes and kind of got a 'what the he!!??' look before i got a wave in return. Guess they were'nt used to cruisers waveing at them... Cheesy

Guess a lot of them were going and comeing to a local ralley at Buckhorn MO my buddy failed to tell me about untill TODAY! Roll Eyes

Seen one trike looked like a big moped with lawnmower wheels on the back to. Shocked

LOTS of harleys. You know a harley just dont look right with them big bat wing fairings on them. Couple of real nice looking choppers though. Couple of girls on the P-Pads were'nt bad either. Grin

Beautiful weather to ride. I put 100 on yesterday, 130 today (and it's not over yet!). Got a windshield put on my Savage, so now I feel better about the highway and interstate speeds. Got in some time on Corridor X - the Alabama interstate from B'ham to Memphis. The road is still in great condition and there's not a lot of traffic on it. Then off for about 30 miles of windy country highway. I'm still nervous on the curves, but there are plenty around for me to gain experience.

Reply #81 - 05/31/11 at 03:50:31 Finally got my first 2 hour ride around the town yesterday. Fueled the bike up for the first time and burned my leg on the exhaust by accident. Small burn. I'll live. But it was really nice to be able to ride.

Hubby and I rode a couple hundred miles Saturday. Some really nice twisties. I'm finally getting alot more comfortable with them. He told me I was about to drag a peg quite a few times. Then I got a little more cautious. He said he should have waited till the ride was over to tell me how close I was.

Got to ride to work today too. 72° and foggy this morning, supposed to be hot, sunny and 95 by the time I leave work!! Predicting a beautiful week.... nice change! Now what's the current Scavenger hunt challenge? Gotta check that out... time to get some pics.

Too hot to ride here. Heat index is over 100. Air temp was a balmy 94 today, really high humidity. I don't like to ride when it gets over about 80 degrees, black leather seat. And this is a helmet state, hardboiled brains is not a pleasant experience.

I've got to fix the pool. The turtle can move into the pond where it belongs... Angry

According to the news the high temp in January was 71 degrees... bleah

If only it was that easy.
