Spring is in the air!!!

Finally, Spring is here!

Today the weather climbed near 70 degrees today and my wife and I took full advantage of it.

Today, for the first time, my wife climbed onto a motorcycle with me. Woo hoo!! This is a major accomplishment that totally thrilled me. I've been trying to convince my wife for 2 years to ride with me, but she was always hesitant and wouldn't entertain the idea because of a childhood experience with a wreckless cousin left a jarring painful memory that wasn't easy to shake.

But today, she agreed to trust me and away we went. Shortly afterwards we were running about town running after some needed items and enjoying each others' company. I've enjoyed riding solo for some time, but I really enjoy riding with my wife of 28 years!

After a short time of working at home, we decided to run out again together and go for a run to Caribou Coffee and a tour around town. Towards dark an approaching cold front was coming thru and the temps dropped into the mid 50s, which made for an even cozier ride home.

All in all, a great start to a new season of riding!! The dark days are over & Spring is here!!!
