Went for a ride today

[pegdragger]

Yeah, I am convinced this motorcycling thing is a sickness. I went out to put the Battery Tender in Rose's FJR, and I couldn't resist going for a ride. When I went out to put it in, it was 3 degrees. When I finished and went for a ride, it was about 15 degrees. I only went out for about 15 minutes, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did manage to crap my pants once tho...As I turned off a side road, I got onto the throttle once I thought I was going straight, and the ass end went straight out sideways on me. I just let off the throttle a touch and it straightened right back out. Hurry up summer!!!

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Michael! You've got guts! It is way too cold for this weather wimp to give motorcycling a try today. Good thing you got that rear straightened out.

[pegdragger]

Lil, after the fact I thought it was cool, but when it came out sideways I nearly crapped myself. I wasn't expecting it at all. There was no ice or water anywhere. All I can think of if cold tires/cold pavement. I am so happy that I got to get in a little seat time tho.

Mike, what color was the road?

[jimlowe]

loved my fjr

[pegdragger]

Road was grey (or whatever pavement color is). Some spots were white from the salt.

[Diamond Lil]

I bet it was the salt that set you loose.

[pegdragger]

I am pretty sure it was Lil.

It is why I'm so chicken to go out on a clear winter day.

Nice! A winter ride. I must admit you have me by about 20 degrees for an all time low riding temp.
