Default FEB 2 in minnesota 1st ride of the year

well, i live in minnesota so days like today are few and far between. The temp climbed to around 42 degrees and i decided it was warm enough to take the bike out of hibernation, anyways i figured i would just let it warm up a bit and then take it for a spin down the street and come right back. Well needless to say what was going to be a 2 minute ride ended up being a 2 hour ride, i went all over south of the twin cities and hardly got cold at all with my long underwear and columbia jacket. It was a great ride and i even saw one other guy out riding too. Just wondering if there is anyone out there crazy enough to have gone out in the cold wet weather?? I had a blast today and even pulled up the front a couple of times . Whoever goes out just remember to take it easy on the corners and watch out for sand. hope to see more bikes out soon... peace

Awesome!

I should have told my buddies to pull out their Duc 748 and GSXR 750 from their living room

Today up in Cottage Grove i seen some guy riding his bike as well. I was thinking "damn that guy is passionate about his bike" Could this have been you. If not it was a black bike of some kind. Not exactly sure what it was.
