Think Spring ....
Ok so I dusted off the scooter, unplugged the battery tender put in the key and mashed the starter button, and ol’Blackie roared to life. I let her run for awhile as I checked the air in the tires. Did a final inspection, closed the garage door and off I went. The first ride of the season always feels great. It had been a looooong four and a half months and PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) had set in. It was nice to feel the wind in my face again and the change of temperature when I rode past a lake that still had ice on it, the wind blowing across it felt like someone had turned on the A/C. After about a two hour ride and meeting up with some friends, it was time to park her for the night. Now I’m waiting for the next warm day to polish her up and change the oil and have her ready for the upcoming riding season and it can’t get here fast enough. I plan I doing the Americade Rally in early June and maybe do the whole length of the Blue Ridge Parkway in early
September. Until my next post ….. I’ll see ya on the road.

As a year round rider, sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on that "first ride of the season". I do however get a certain thrill out of the first ride of the year with my jacket liner out. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're getting to ride again. Take care out there.
