What to do now?

It has been a week since the Legends ride and boy has it been a bummer...in regards to riding. The weather has been very crappy, rain, rain and more rain the last couple days. Add in some sickness at the house and the bike stayed parked since Sunday.

We did have a beautiful ride on Sunday with one of our friends and her date. We met them and took them for a nice, leisurely ride around the county on some twisty roads (by Florida standards) that lasted about an hour or so. We stopped to get something to drink and I asked the two of them how they liked it and they were all gushing about the ride and scenery. So I took that as a good sign.

When we got inside the restaurant, I found out that the date had only been riding for 6 months and that it was only the 2nd time he had had a passenger on the pillion seat of his soft tail Harley. Oops! If I had know that, I wouldn't have picked a couple of the roads or taken such a long route. But it all turned out good.

Now I am eager for another ride of some length. Can't go anywhere tomorrow but maybe we can sneak out Sunday for a nice, long ride to nowhere in particular or maybe somewhere special. I'll have to figure out something because I am going somewhat stir crazy, lol. It amazes me that the call of the road is so intoxicating and strong that just a few days away makes you yearn for the ride even more.

I guess I could do some maintenance on the bike tonight or tomorrow to give me a little shot in the arm. At least that way I will be near the bike, lol.

See you on the road.
