Hit 60 here today, but mostly in the 50's. I did about 70 miles on the Beemer. It seemed quite tropical! I got out onto some back roads that I haven't dared try since last Fall. We didn't get a lot of snow this year, so not too much sand on the roads. Usually this time of year you have to really watch out for sand accumulations in the curves. It was a great ride! I stopped by the hardware store and picked up some fiberglass screening to put over the air intake on the Beemer. They make the air intakes and airboxes totally irresistible to mice, who make nesting out of the air filter and make a horrible mess in the airbox. It's happened to me twice on different Beemers. Anyway, the BMW is now pretty well set up with hardbags, a topcase, plastic cylinder head guards, a windshield, and hookups for the battery tender and heated clothing. I don't intend to put anything more on it. I should post another picture soon.

Nice ride, Mr. JWR.
Glad that you can start season again....

JWR · 03-08-2010, 08:20 PM

Thanks, we have been wet and cold this year.

It looks like a nice ride, JWR. How were the temps there?

I had a great ride today, not necessarily for any reason other than it was sunny and 70 degrees for the first time in months around here! I started out this morning in full cold weather gear, temps in the mid 30's. I headed up towards Harrison Tennessee passing along Chickamauga Lake. Water levels are still at Winter elevations but because it's the largest surface area of any of the Lakes on the Tennessee River, the water only drops about 6-7 feet from Summer levels so it's still really pretty to look at most places. Spent most of the day helping my 75 year old mother with some yard work and then had a great ride home in just my boots, jeans, jacket liner and helmet, no heavy gear, and man was it nice. Sunshine beaming down,70+ degree temps, felt like Spring! Well, it's supposed to cool off and start raining for the next several days, but today was a great day to be out on the bike! :2tup:

It almost got up to 60 here today. I got out, mostly for a couple of errands. Started the day with an early morning ride to pick up a couple of "Tags" for the new game we're playing. Didn't have to go far for that. A little later I picked up some chain wax for the GZ at Motorcycles of Manchester. Then I stopped by the supermarket. Took the long way out and back. Then I took the GZ out of mothballs, and took it for a short spin. It seems to be running well. So, several shorter rides on a bright, unseasonably warm day.
