Whoooo-hooooo. Took the new Rockster out for the break in ride. It has been killing me to have it sitting there in the garage since saturday. what a perfect night - the longest night of the year. got home from the store a little after 7 pm and took her out.
could it be possible that i like this one a leeetle bit better? yup. she fired right up after sitting unattended for four cold, snowy days. it was a brisk 26 degrees when i left the house.
went by my brothers to see iffen he wanted to ride. nope - the pussy! (just kidding, les....put the baseball bat down) so then i headed north of grand rapids to rockford to visit a harley riding friend. she and her sweetheart were just sitting down for a cup of tea (ahhh, that was nice). they thought i was nuts to be out riding. yup.
everything worked great. trying to scrub in the new tires and keep the revs below 4k to break her in. yipppeee. did 53 miles tonight. love the bike...can't wait to ride when it is nice and warm....like the high 30's or something!!

Congrats. We want to see pictures of the new baby.

What the heck am I doing in Dallas again, and where is my motorcycle?!

hopefully sitting quietly at home

james took a few shots of me pulling out of the driveway (had my "outriggers" extended to get past the ice. i think he also got a good one of me zooming by with my tireflies glowing. he is supposed to e-mail me the pictures tomorrow or something.
ps - celebrated the ride with a big bowl of ice cream!

Hi, Cliffy! Glad to hear you're at it again. And on a brandy-new scoot, to boot! All I got to ride today was the two blowers. We only ended up with 6-7" pn the ground in my yard. Ride safe!

Glad to hear you got out on the new wheels. And especially glad you had a relatively decent evening, considering what the weather man says is on its way right now! Don't know when we'll see clear roads again.
