It's almost here!

Oh man, I can’t wait for motorcycle season to arrive. We’re almost there. The temperature managed to get up to 17C today and boy was I pining to go out and ride. Still, there is wayyyyy too much gravel on the road right now. Even though it is nice enough to be out riding, the roads are still slippery with debris. *sigh* Oh well, what can you do? Wait - I suppose.

I think there are more riders at work than there ever has been before. It’s going to be a fun season. At least 3 new guys have been hired into IT that ride, plus 2 more are taking courses this summer to get their license and at least one of those guys has already offered money on a used bike. I’ll have to see about finding a new place to park before coming in to work this year. Spots are disappearing every year. It’s too bad too because soon enough there won’t be any places to park my bike and I’ll have to stop riding to work in the summer.

Really good friends of mine (Darren and Lori) just invested in a 2005 Goldwing. What a beauty. So I imagine there will be a few trips planned with them as well. Plus, Darren has sold his bike to Dez (or Zed as we like to call him), which was an older Goldwing (1981 if I recall). It has a rebuilt engine, but needs a little paint. Nonetheless, 2 wheels on the ground is still a very good thing. Maybe if I can get them to pose with their rides, I’ll see about posting a couple of pictures here.

Well, time to put the battery on the trickle charger and make sure everything is in order for when I decide to get my v-star back on the road. Maybe by the end of March. *fingers crossed*.
