    Yes I did! But just for a test ride because my brake lines are way too old, my rear tire is finished, and my forks acted like empty. Other than that, the bike was fun to ride.

    I couldn't help it, the weather was amazing up here!

    Sure did. The wife and I rode for about 2 hours.. Kinda chilly, but really pretty nice overall. In Minnesota, it's been winter till like last week. Still gets into the 30s at night.

    As far as I can tell I'm 200' inside the eastern boundary.
    I guess Great American Desert is the more appropriate name; I've heard it called both.

    My son did a lot of cleaning. Unfortunately his plan included moving most of my stuff into the attic :roll:

    Only riding I did today was to and from work. I did go for a short but spirited ride yesterday evening after the yard work was finished. I just had to!! All work and no play makes for an angry moose!

    I didn't ride today, or yesterday, or the day before and so-on. I've been meaning to get my 550 clutch problems fixed and will get another clutch assembly in the mail tomorrow. Hopefully I'm riding by the end of this week sometime :D

    I did pass by a church today doing a "blessing-of-the-bikes". Wow, haven't seen that many bikes in one location in a long time. Entire parking lot was covered with bikes sitting side by side. Even had photographers on the church roof snapping pics of the whole ordeal; it was quite a sight!

    This morning was a beautiful ride here in Michigan...even if it was a commute. 50 miles on the bike invigorates, where 50 miles in the car numbs. I was busy with the family over the weekend, but I get two hours of saddle time each day...the season in getting better and better.

    Got a nice ride over to, and up m119 in north west Michigan with my son and his friend. Very nice 150 miles or so, with a pizza and root beer when done.

    Yes - spectacular riding in the Finger Lakes region of NY!

    And it was eerie - encountered almost no cagers!

    Rode a 75 round trip for a cinco de mayo party - stiff margarita, sober up, coffee, food, then home again. Testing new front bearings and general front hub tuneup + new fusebox.

    And rode to work today, too. Finally stopped snowing here!

    Been riding since the second week of April.
    Love a brisk morning, layers with leather and a neoprene/fleece neck guard. :D
    Except when raining, I need a good rain suit and boots that can handle the road spray.

    Mostly commuting, usually get at least one good distance ride in on the weekend. I really really like to ride on two wheels. I have been riding for 3.5 years, last year I asked a guy at work who has been riding for 40 + years;
    "Does riding ever stop being fun?"
    NO! :lol:
