Title: First ride of the year!
Post by: Roy on March 15, 2009, 09:43:29 AM
Anyone else get out and ride yesterday?  The weather was awesome!  I didn't go too far...just around the neighborhood and down to the local gas station to fill the tires up with air!  Roads are pretty crappy, so ride safe!   [moto]

I got the Monster running today! I was too impatient to wait for a full charge on the battery so I set it for 30 minutes and then push started her down the driveway.  Already getting dirty looks from the neighbors  [evil]

Woo Hoo I had Whitey out for a short ride today. Went down through Welch on 7, 19 to Red Wing, crossed the river did a quick spin up "O" to River Falls and slabbed it home. Lotsa sand on "O" but the others were pretty clean.

Not bad for the  "Ides of March"

Took it out tonight after work for the first time this year. Did a few mods over winter and it was like I was riding a new bike  [moto]  Roads are still covered pretty good with sand, but it was worth it. Can't wait for the rain we are supposed to get this weekend. Hopefully it'll get most of the sand off the roads.
