Well the "old man" and his newly licensed son went most of the way to the ski area, on the crest. Me on the Ducati 400SS and he on the interceptor 250. Needless to say it was freakin' windy and cold but I'm proud of my boy he did a pretty good job except his hands froze because he was wearing mittens. On the way home we stopped at PJ's and xmas came early, I bought him a pair of Alpine Star gloves. He was very thankful, not just for the gift but to help stop his hands from FREEZING!

Too freakin' cool!    Awesome to see Gabe out there getting some turns in on the Crest.  On a sidenote, Christmas came early for WannaDucBad in the same form.  We headed for Cycle Gear and picked him out some heavyduty winter gloves and a facewarmer to go with it.  He's ready for some serious winter riding now. 
Hope to get a ride in with Gabe this spring!

Way to go HP, Gabe is lucky to have a mentor.
A young kid I hired last week told me that he bought a R6 while learning basic riding skills
in the parking lot of the dealership. His brother had been riding motorcycles for years and he assumed that it would be a breeze to learn the skills. Well, he wrecked it within two months and doesn't want to have anything to do with motorcycles.

Thanks Zaster! I am going so far as to get another Interceptor 250 to level the field! Like you and me on the 1098! Haha!
Actually I am driving to Colorado Springs in the AM to get the Interceptor so i cant make the coffee shop tomorrow.  :'(

Keep your eyes open for either the Lebaron or the Paladin.  I am leaving 8ish myself headed toward the Hood.  I'll wave and flash my brights if I see the van trrundling my way.  I have any eagle eye on the weather to see if I can make it down there while it's nice on Sunday.  It will be crappy while I am there, but  supposed to warm  up on Wednesday again when I'll be heading back.  I need 600 more miles on the bike before it's 15K service.  I want to get them before December 21st which is the Paladin and I's first anniversary .

I was at Dawn's from 11-12, and then went up to the Mad Hatter after. No sign of any of you puppies.

Sorry underblog, I took my bike to work to finish up our weekend project but didn't get out until after 1, from there I ended up just doing a South 14 run.

I tried to get outa' Santa earlier today, but had procrastinated (check me out ! I'm one away from posting a six syllable word) too much work from yesterday.  I did hit N14 around 3. NO traffic & warm, and, for the first time in awhile, the only corners on that road (between Cerillos & Madrid) were empty. I went back & did it again. It's only 7 corners, but this time of the year ya' take what you can get. 
I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.
