Default First ride of the year (earplugs)

Although it snowed an inch last night, today was just right to take the bike out of the living room, down the elevator and onto the pavement. It was a long, snowy winter here in Utah. She ran great after she coughed up all of her blue exhaust.

It was between 45 and 50 degrees with no wind and plenty of sunshine. You warm region riders don't know how lucky you are! I am so damn ready for the spring weather and conditions.

does anyone else ride with earplugs?

No worries, I didn't forget how to ride. I was a tad bundled up to keep warm and that made it tough to ride normal.

Does anyone else ride with earplugs?

I did with my bike cause it had a stupidly loud exhaust on it, i will never again put a reallllly loud exhaust on, it sounded good at first, but after a 4-5 hour ride your ears are RINGING!!

its just oil burning. It will happen if it sits a while. If its pouring out blue smoke thats a different story.
