My first ride for 20 16

**Rasta** · 01-14-2016, 09:13 PM

I took the nomad and out for the first time this year. Went on a 3 hour, 180 mile ride on a beautiful 50 degree weather. Time to park it again since it's going to be freezing again for a while

NICE!! I love riding on days like that

**Framer** · 01-14-2016, 09:35 PM

When do you find time to work.

**Jared** · 01-14-2016, 09:36 PM

Sounds like a great ride. Still too much snow to get out of my driveway here.

Nice photos Rasta. BTW, how far are you from Dubuque? I have family there.

VulcanE · 01-15-2016, 04:29 PM

Glad you got out for a while, just wondering what all that white stuff is that seems to be growing everywhere.

I worked through my lunch hour so I could take off early.

Thanks Robert. We are about 3hrs from Dubuque. That's a beautiful place to go riding. We try and make it there at least once a year specially to see the changing of the leaves in the fall. Summer time is a blast there too.

Well Mr Georgia, that there is what we here call miner inconvenience for bikers. The stuff you guys don't know how to drive on

**trip** · 01-16-2016, 02:11 AM

Ahh.... love this time of year. Because we all play the "try to get in as much riding as possible to keep our sanity" game.

You are the only sane one here Rasta!

OldSchool · 01-16-2016, 02:42 AM

The pretense of sanity is a game which must be played within todays society. Luckily some of us have succumbed to our reality and no longer need to maintain a forefront of such pretenses. We are free to wander aimlessly about happily enjoying our otherwise forbidden bliss. Oh sorry, yes Rasta is sane....sane... sane....

You guys keep forgetting to put the "in" in front of that word :)

Ohhhhhhhhh man, I can't wait for spring!!

I agree with you.

I got out for a bit the other day myself. We've had lots of rain with an occasional mid 40s sunny day. I rode under 100 miles though, getting somewhat of a late start.

Coool! Glad you made it Mike! I am sure it was much needed like mine was
