Warm weather at last!
« on: April 30, 2013, 08:42:27 AM »
Yesterday was the first real warm day of the year around here.

Ain't nothing like being able, at last, to remove all the liners from my MC jacket and pants, pull the hand air deflectors off the bike, and get my warm weather gloves on and go for a ride!

This is one of the two times a year in Cleveland where its great to work outside. Within 2 weeks, we will go from 70's sunny and beautiful, to 85 to 95 and 70% humidity and no rain till September except for 3 or 4 MONSTER thunderstorms along about July. Then around about late September we get into this pattern again for about two weeks.

You're right, Tim. It was beautiful this weekend and I did a couple of hundred miles of county road SW of the DFW area on Sunday. High was in the mid-80's, not much wind to speak of. Had a wonderful time.

Plus, I highly recommend a stop at the Pearl Street Station in Granbury. It's an old converted Sinclair gas station with amazing food.

Another BIG plus about the warm weather is the scantily clad young women all over the place!    :P

As I was parking my bike in the designated MC parking area one of the above mentioned young women rode up on a baby Ninja and parked next to me. She was wearing some SHORT shorts and a skimpy top, flip flops too.   :o

Normally I'm all for ATGATT but...    ;)

Hey, if she crashes I won't have to pay her doctor bills right? To her credit, she was wearing a helmet.

Started snowing again today.  :(  Expecting 4-8 inches with up to 14 inches in the mountains. The warm weather sure was nice while it lasted.
