I went riding last night since it was a wonderful day out and the night was even better. Wasn't cold and the cool crisp air was perfect for riding. While out riding before I meet up with Matt(N4S) I decided to say the hell with it and just open it all up. I am at a rolling start when the light turns and I lay down on the bike and just go. Reaching 130 and then 140 and finially 150. I was felling the wind blow over my back and she was screamin to go faster. Finally reaching 158 and looking forward to the bend in the road I let off the throttle and slow down. God did that feel awsome.

Later Matt comes over and we go out riding. He and I are doing 130's and 140's. Last night was a great night for riding. At one point there was just way to much $hit blowing across the road but didn't stop us. Well, I slowed down a bit to be sure but then picked the speed back up and we were at it again. I am going to dislike having to park her for the winter. But atleast I was able to go out and riding her like she likes to be. :dthumb:

Just like to play it safe in the rain. One of the last times I went riding in the rain was the night Carrie was going into labor with Caleb 3 months ago tomorrow. It F-ing poured on my way home.

riding in the rain is kinda fun if u ask me..it really helps you keep ur focus even more, and its great practice.

if you can kick arse in the rain, imagine what you can do when its dry!
