Ahhhh, the healing power of wind therapy! What a glorious day to get out for the season's first ride...my mental health really needed this! Hope everyone enjoyed this wonderful day and partook in all of God's glory.

That bike looks a lot better than any XT250.

Just sayin'...

Enjoy the weather!

Great day for a little ride, there still time to enjoy today. Btw you don’t need your jacket liner- it’s that nice out!

Indeed. I still had my liner in and it was a bit much. Didn't see the zebra but stopped to grab a dozen beer because it's a klr and well it has a box for that.....

First ride of the year today, put the battery back in and bike fired right up. Too bad there are no more warm days for the rest of the month.

Sounds like you need an electric vest. Really opens up these shoulder seasons.

Isn't that box for milk?

You know I up graded from milk crate to Rubbermaid action packers right!

First ride of the year is in the bag. Trusty Ole Vstrom and FJR fired right up, put them away in December with a full tank. No tender, didn't start her since before Christmas.

Battery on FJR is on season 8, vstrom on season 5 (original).

Oh, side bags!

Ugh I wanna go out so bad. If I came in close contact with someone who got COVID-19 and I have been taking rapid test kits everyday with negative results..... Can I go riding?

I think so according to this (https://www.ontario.ca/page/covid-19-stop-spread)?

Yeah I read the You do not need to isolate if one of the following applies to you portion...

 

[Baggsy]

Lots of sand or dirt on the roads here, and possibly some salt as well still, so I didn't get out.
I did roll the bike out and wash the dust off of it however.

Nah, this is the V-Strom. I have to sell it. It doesn't get quite as warm here.

Sounds too high tech, can't I just stuff some newspaper under my jacket?

Once you get yourself heated gear, you'll wonder how you managed without it.

For someone like me who gets cold really quick, I just couldn't ride without it anymore... too much frostbite or getting cold bones after long days is going to come back to bite me down the road.
