It is usually well below freezing and with great many inches, or feet, of snow here in Northwestern Pennsylvania this time of the year. So the notion of a ride is just that, a notion. But not with the crazy weather this year. The snow is now completely gone, temps warmed up to 52 this morning and I was sitting at the computer looking for things to custom up the Vulcan. I looked into a new paint job, maybe some nice shiny chrome? Hmmm, I’ve been thinking about ordering the progressive shock springs for the front, perhaps I could order them today. I do need to clean up the wheel spokes a bit, which would make a good project today. I cruised Ebay and didn’t find anything spectacular or new to put on her. Then a great thought, unpack her from the winter storage, start her up and plunk my growing winter butt in the seat. So I did!!! Sixty miles on January 20th in Erie PA!! To my amazement, it was a quite comfortable ride, cool but not cold. What a fantastic day!! Now I am not sure if this will give some relief from the winter doldrums, or if this tease ride is going to drive me nuts for the next two and a half months. Either way is was just great to get out and ride. Kinda makes me jealous of all you folks out there who can ride year round.
