Went for a couple of rides yesterday. My dad passed away day before and needed the clear air in my head. First ride started before 10:00AM and was a run down to the mall to get cigars and then out to the lake. Was nippy (about 60 degrees)for the first 30 min then warmed up to 73 by 2:00PM. Beautiful weather and bright sun shining. Knew I was testy when I zipped around an illegal that was lost in the mall parking lot. You know they are illegal when they stop in the mall entrances and start giving you that where's my mommy look. Pulled it up then shut it down. I stopped at the cigar store and sat in an overstuffed chair talking to the owner and watching the crowd at the mall and chilled. About noon I cranked her up and headed out to the lake. Man she was running good. I gave her the full throttle several times thru the gears and down again. Powered thru a couple twisties twice as fast as legal and close to the wire once (gotta remember that one because it was downhill). About 2 o'clock it was getting right warm so I headed back to the house. Spit and polished the bike then called a bud up and said "let's hit the town". Picked him up on the bike and went to Dukes for burger and laughs (renowned HD bar
). After Dukes went to the Cape for a few and chill. Buddy had a ride so about 10 o'clock I climbed back on board (don't remember it being this cold) and headed home. Was a little lit so when a kid in a mustang peeled away from me at a light I gave him a thrashing. Picked it up in the first three gears
and flew past him at 110+. He backed way off at the next light. Made it home OK but cold.
Anyway, today is another fine day!
