Congrats on getting her out. I have really only had one good ride this year. It has been snowing and cold ever since.

Glad to hear you got out for a ride, yesterday was great here, today its 28 and 6" of heavy wet snow.

Glad to hear you made it out. This time of year is so tough with the rapid changes in weather, hopefully it keeps getting nicer now!

radco · 04-06-2009, 12:51 PM

Is the weather finally starting to break up your way?A Bud in Onterio said they had alot of rain,, cannt remember his town,,,,, Rich

flavor · 04-07-2009, 05:30 AM

Well Rich, you sound like you're all set for the season. Now all you need is to break that knee in for the longer trips you have planned...............

Good friend of mine had his knee replaced about two months ago.

Amazing, the technology we have.

radco · 04-07-2009, 01:02 PM

Jim .Yea a few years ago it would take longer to recover,,,The short trip I did was no problem,, so I should be good for the JUNE trip......... Nice to get in the saddle again :)

nightmare · 04-07-2009, 02:59 PM
