A ride in the 34

Ohio Blue Tip · January 11, 2006, 01:40:00 PM

Last Sunday I took the rod out and played with it!

The weather was sunny and in the 40's. The heater worked good and I ran about 50 miles. Sure felt good, little hard to stop with one bad foot, but I've never been much for stopping.

Like the loud pedal better.
Spring is coming.

Ken....Sounds like the foot is progressing nicely! It is nearly 60 outside today and I'm seriously thinking about taking something for a ride!They're predicting snow for tonight

It's good to hear your foot is gettin' better Ken and it's really nice to see this 40-something weather in January. We don't have a drop of snow left and the salt is all washed off the roads.

I've been taking advantage of this weather to break in the little engine on my pit cruiser. I've put about 50 miles on it in the last week. The neighbors think I'm nuts and they're probably right but I'm having fun.

It sure beats the hell out of shovelling snow.

I'm even thinking about going up to the cabin this weekend if I can get a snow report for out in the woods up north. They don't plow the road that goes in.

Your road looked good when I went past on New Year's day.

Why did a picture of Fred Flintstone, stopping his car, come to mind?

Suppose to be 50 here today. I would take Big Olds out for a spin but his dash is all apart and he's got no taillites right now. :cry: Oh well, I can live vicariously thru you for a couple of months right???

I took the roadster out this morning. It was 37 degrees and overcast. Stopped for breakfast and drove on to my friends shop where I piddled the day away (I'm retired so I piddle a lot). Came home about 4:30. It was 60 degrees and threatening rain. It was a great ride.

drive it like ya stole it!

Yup, it did get over 50 and sunny here today and since the truck is tucked in too deep to dig out I took the harley for a 2 1/2 hour ride. A nice treat for January in Michigan. I saw lots of bikes out.

Supposed to snow again tomorrow night tho

If you are reading my weather bar......... read the city a bit closer.
