My First Ride of 2009

Usually we're able to take the bike out a couple times during the winter but if I remember correctly that only happened once this winter and I wasn't along for the ride. Today was beautiful...about 60. If you can believe it, I had to wait for Dan. Too funny...a chick waiting for a guy to get ready! LOL Anyway...I better not make too much fun of him because he did take me on an extra extended ride today! I felt all of the winter yuck dropping off of me as we made our way toward Saylorville and the mile long bridge. It felt so good breathing in the crisp air of pre-spring. There were a lot of bikes out today. The biker wave came natural as we'd pass each other. Everyone smiling and everyone coming back to life again. I'm so excited for this motorcycle season. It's going to be adventure packed this year...I can feel it! Hope to see you on the road!!
