The weather finally came through today and we got some of the bikes out for a 150 miles worth of riding. Had to put a new battery in the GS, but I knew that was coming. Front tire has a slow leak so it was flat from sitting since October. I do keep it on a bike jack. It ran a little rough with the stabilizer in it, so I added a little octane boost and it settled right in. My son has been itching to ride it since last year when he first started riding on the street so he drove it while I took the LC and turned the keys to his Rebel over to my wife. My daughters bike is down for repairs I haven't got to yet, so she rode with me. With temps between 60-65 it got a little cool with the cloud cover, but not bad enough to break out the chaps. I try to avoid the super slab, so we took some backroads in the mountains to a little town that has a fifties theme restaraunt for lunch and returned by a different route home. I saw a lot of other bikes out today, so I guess I wasn't the only one chomping at the bit to get out. I'm hoping these means spring has come to the mountains and I can park my 15 MPG pick up and start riding the bike to work and back.
