Ride to work...11.2.05
Had a gorgeous ride to work this morning. The trip was less than 20 miles, but it felt great to get out. I came in from the west side of Traverse City MI, down a road that overlooks both arms of Grand Traverse Bay...the sun was just peaking through the clouds at that very moment...red, purple, and blue colors in the sky. When I was approaching work, I was sooooooo close to twisting the throttle right on by. The only part that sucked was that it was 32 degrees out and my windshield kept wanting to fog up...oh well...gotta get back to work so I can leave early.

Cool. I rode too but it wasn't as cold! Only 43 I think the weather dude said. Did see a few bikes on the way in this morning, more than normal. Going to be a nice day here in St. Louie, about 70 for a high today.
Traverse City eh. Used to live in St. Ignace as a kid. Nice country.

Three buds and I will be riding about 120 miles through the Texas Hill Country starting at 10:00 this morning. It's supposed to get to 79 degrees this afternoon....it's 37 right now. I hope I changed the antifreeze on my Dyna.
Will my chaps make my ass look fat? Probably, but it's not the chaps.
Work? Hmmmm......I remember that.

you have a great place to ride in Michigan. That's a nice veiw in a car, bet it's better on the scoot. I hope to get my bike up in that area some time. we have been vacationing up there but haven't brought the scoot yet, too many toys and need the truck.
take care and ride safe.

You run anti-freeze in your blinker fluid???????  Switch to synthetic and you won't need to do that.  
Have a good time on your ride Trooper.

Will Syn3 work? Guess I'd better head to my dealer and pay $75/hour to get my blinker fluid changed to syn.

make sure you switch over to winter blinker fluid or it will freeze and you'll be stranded. unless you have the repair kit.
