I rode this winter, but not a lot. Mainly some short jaunts to keep the winter blues away. Over the past few days I was able to get out and do a couple of longer trips, but it showed me how really rusty I get over the winter.
As many of you know, the RounderÔÇÖs Round UP was this past weekend in Escanaba. lorazepam, BMWRTGIRL, and merrittgene met at my house we rode to the U.P. together. GeneÔÇÖs K100 restoration is not quite finished so being a good hostess and friend he got to ride my ÔÇÖ96 R1100RS even though I had just gotten it back from the shop and was dying to ride it. {Cliffy ÔÇô thatÔÇÖs one of the advantages of having TWO bikes. Count ÔÇÿem: 1, 2ÔǪ}
I rode my 1975 R90/6. Before we left I warned the other three, who were on oilheads, to take it easy on the airhead and her rider. I was worried about getting thrashed on the freeway for the 227 mile trip with no fairing and no windscreen. We left Milwaukee in light rain, made a couple of gas stops and a lunch stop in Oconto, and arrived in Escanaba on cue just as the snow flurries started.
It was a great weekend as you may have heard about in other threads. It was such a pleasure to meet and hang out with and ride with people who IÔÇÖve only known through the internet. It really underscores for me what a special community the Forum is and how much I appreciate it.
Part of Saturday night's entertainment was watching the Weather Channel:
