After about 2 weeks, I actually did ride for more than an hour on Friday.  Sweet one went to a movie with a girl friend and I went for a ride.  No place special. I started following a motorcycle but he turned into Home Depot.   A  little in Lawnside, a little in Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Haddon Hts, Mt. Ephraim, Audabon, (Home of Joe Flacco), I actually rode right past his favorite diner on The White Horse Pike and a few other towns.  It sounds like a lot but I did it in about 90 minutes.  The small towns here in SJ are grouped close together, as you cross intersections, you go into differant towns, I didn't even mention my town of Bellmawr.  All I can say is that after about 3 weeks, sick during 2 of them, it felt good to ride.  The Yager started right up after I disconnected the battery maintainer.  :)

I have been able to ride for about two weeks now here in Vegas Baby. In fact this past Saturday, my local scooter club celebrated its 4 year anniversary. It was in the mid sixties. In less then 2 weeks we have the annual Vegas highrollers scooter rally taking place Thursday Feb28th-March 3rd. I have been to the last two and they always a blast. Here is the link if you would like to attend this rally. www.lvscooterrally.com (http://www.lvscooterrally.com) Happy riding to everyone. 8)

Today,  I rode about 50 miles in town.  I am in Southern Arizona and the weather has been too cold for us to ride.  We have had a couple of days perfect for riding.  Wednesday, Thursday and Friday highs are back in the 40's no riding for a few days.  Next week when the Accenture Match Play comes to town we will be riding again.  Maybe Skiing this when the weather turns south.  Back to riding next week.

The bike was purring today and it was perfect!

Spoiled.  I'll admit it.  No carpool today took the scoot.  Logged another 70 miles. Temp today 70.  Tomorrow rain, cold and winter advisory snow above 4000 ft.  We normally have about 330 days of riding weather.  It seems to me like the  last 60 days have been too cold. In my schedule I can ride Friday, Saturday, Sunday and sometimes one of the other days.  Mon-Thurs drive a carpool 4 kids. Can't get 4 kids on the Xciting 500.

It was 70 yesterday.  They stopped the World Golf Match Play because of Blizzard in Southern Arizona.  It will be 55 and dry tomorrow.  I will be riding tomorrow.  Friday almost 70 again.  Will be riding on Friday for sure.  If it freezes tonight it will be a bummer.

37 degrees this morning and the coldest ride ever for me. It did give me the opportunity to try out the freeze out top I purchased on sale at Cycle Gear.  No carpool equals scooter day.
