    Took my first ride ever today

    I just got back from a 5 hour plus ride on my GS850. Fortunatley today was a sunny and somewhat warm day. I'm exhausted, cold and still feel like I am sitting on my bike as I type this, but it was awesome! I can't wait for some summer weather.

    Good stuff, I have yet to ride as the weather still sucks down here. You guys get an extra month or two over us. Great to see someone out and about.

            The addiction will steadily take control. You'll be leaving work early. If you go at all. You'll come up with ridiculous excuses to run errands. Your new scent will be eau de exhaust/fuel. Dreams will include Isle of Man scenes.

              First day that seemed remotely like riding weather - good on you to take advantage of it!

                Congratulations! Be aware, it is an addiction and there is no cure. But then, you're not going to want one. heheh Welcome to a new world.

                  Congrats on your first ride. If you get some wind proof riding pants and thick winter gloves, you'll enjoy spring weather riding a lot more.

                    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                          HAHA!

                          I'm always running out to get stupid stuff.

                          I'll leave the house at 1am to get myself a cold coffee for the next morning.

                          Sometimes I just take off and ride to walmart or autozone, even though I have NO IDEA what I need.....I just walk around until I find something stupid that I might need in the future, but probably won't use for 6 months....
