Supposed to hit 115° F today, but I'm still riding.



Dear god

We might have to add a couple of days to the trip for all the beer breaks "More beer than fill up's"


Yeah.  Dreadly will see this and start rethinking June of next year.

all the more reason to stop in at your favorite watering hole and have several refreshing cold cold cold beers  ;D

    On my ride today got as hot as it has this year in the upper 80's, so i rode with a t-shirt, helmet, gloves and riding boots. Figured no jacket because it was too hot. The weather can change really fast, had a brief period a couple miles with small hail, feels like bb machine gun at 60mph. Not leaving again without at least rain pants and jacket. ;D

    80s isn't hot.  It was 90° riding down the I-10 this morning at 6am.

      You could always head down now.  We're doing a Birthday BBQ/Pool party for my wife on Saturday.  We invited a whole mess of people from our local riding group and I hope it's not too hot for them to show up on bikes. It'll be fun to see a whole mess of them park in my driveway (even if some of them are Harleys).

      Wish I could be there Dan.  Enjoyed visiting with you again when I was in Phoenix.  Got in my first ride after my surgery today (a little bit earlier than maybe I should have) as I had to get out there.  Ran a route where I didn't have but two stop signs going and two coming back over about 50 miles.  Was great to get some wind in my face again.  Needed it, even if it was a hot 96 coming back.  Know that's not hot for you, but you are young and tough.  Say Hi to the wife for me.  Happy 4th.

      Went for a rip in to town. There was what looked to be an accomplished HD rider eyeing up my bike. I've never answered so many questions at at couple of stop lights before. He must of said 5 times how much he liked it and when I told him it was 113 co his eyes really lit up. Then he asked me what it was. LOL

      Rode in to work today as it was a beautiful morning and no rain or anything in the forecast.  Well, lovely Colorado decides to change around 3:30 and it is currently raining all over!!! :wtf: 

      Any who, I did get to have a conversation in traffic this morning with a guy in his '69 VW.  He thought the bike was "sick" and asked what kind it was and if it was a Harley where I got it painted, mind you I'm rolling factory '09 silver...  :shrug: Thought it was funny.

      Road into the City to pick up a few small things for the Vette. Narrowly avoided this old lady changing lanes with out looking.

      Lucky couple days here again, beautiful weather yesterday, today and supposed to be tomorrow.  I still wish I wasn't at work, but at least I get quality seat time twice daily.  I might just have to find a long way home tonight too since we don't have plans  8)

      My next helmet will have a large sticker on the back that reads "If you rear end me, I will KILL you."  Maybe that will get their attention?
