I went for a nice ride today and put on about 200 mi. I headed out this mornning and headed south along the river. The day started out at about 35*and the motor was running strong and full of life. About a mile or so from home there are some good hard corners you can hit at about 60 and really lean into them. I just love those corners that let you hang off the seat and pull on the bars. While going through the S turns I saw a couple of deer and I was just hopeing they wouldn't jump into my path. There was no way I would be able to avoid them if they did. The deer may have seen my light or heard the roar of the exhaust but into the woods they dissappeard. I was about 100mi out when the engine sputtered and I realised I needed gas. I pulled into this little 4 horse town. The gas station is also the town diner and mini grocery store. Good place for lunch I thought. I sat at the counter and had some nice hot soup and spoke with the locals. The usual question and answer. "Where ya from?" "Where ya goin?" "Hows the ridin?" I left there and headed home along the same route. now it is about 40* and it is getting wet. There are little puddles and rivletts every where and I am getting soaked. At this time I am getting anxious to get home and get my leather off. The stuff weighs a ton when it is wet. I turn in to the driveway. Then I drop the kickstand and hose the salt off the old Sportster. Ya I don't have any snow but I do still enjoy a nice ride!

Great story! Sucks it's that warm to ride on 2 wheels instead of a track and skis!

Good story, I like the way you kept it till the last to say it was on your bike instead of the sled.

Yesterday, today,and some more tommorrow! This weather is somethin' else. Gotta' find time to finish the sleds and trailer but if it keeps up like this......nah, I still am beggin' for some colder weather and lots of snow. Like you said, mmr,it's great compensation.

I thought everyone would enjoy a nice kicker in place of the usual "waah I don't have any snow."
