Thanks for posting up Neal.

I know you guys back there are tired of that stuff and maybe even tired of looking/riding the same ol roads all the time.  Just remember, there are many of us on this forum that haven't been in this area (or where ever you're area is) and so we appreciate the photo ride reports.   :2vrolijk_21:

its a great area to ride through. its fun this time of year when the sun is shining and the roads are dry and clear, but you still get a reminder of how long winter was as you look forward to the new riding season.

It was DAM good to get out today for an actual ride and not "just around the block". Thanks for the pics Neal. We didn't take any pics today but we did go for an extended ride.  :2vrolijk_21:

I must admit I took it easy for a while until I got my "road legs" back, the first long ride of the season often serves to remind me how rusty you can get over a winter of not riding.

Yup every spring the "cages" need some time to adjust to our presence so it pays to be extra diligent at the start of the riding season. I found myself wondering how a car coming out of a parking lot didn't notice me  with my Daymaker headlight, stock spotlights, CD dynamic ringz and fender mounted Kuryakyn LED driving lights  ALL ON or perhaps they just plain didn't care.

I forgave them because I was to happy to be on two wheels again.

Sorry JC...I really have no excuse since both the wife and I have a smart phone capable of taking fairly decent photos....

Got the Banana  :bananarock: out today. Half cleaned it up and put saddlebags on and off to work. Great to be back on 2 wheels!

Ok I'll charge up the JVC Adixxion and mount it back on the bars just in case I find myself on an interesting road, and I'll ask the wife to volunteer to play paparazzi when we stop from now on.  ;)

Nice pics, Neal!    :2vrolijk_21:       Forgive me. I'm from California. What is the meaning of this strange term, "hibernation?"    :nixweiss:
