Brutal winter seems to have departed for a few weeks anyway and yesterday was severe clear, mild (50F) and sunny. I was NOT alone as I ventured around the area blowing out the engine cobwebs and cooties. Saw several other bikers in my travels.
Only the gods know if the snow and ice are gone till next winter, so I figured it best to get some miles under my keester while I could. Gonna head out again today and tomorrow to burn off some of this Seafoamed couple month old gas and replace it with fresh 89 octane.
Life is pretty good.
Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

I agree winter is gone. Here in the Quad City area it is 60 degrees.

Hey there ChicagoRandy, today was another nice day for a ride. It's nice to see someone is around me with a Voyager! Hopefully our paths will cross one day this summer!

Let's just disregard that 5" of snow we got yesterday here near Midway Airport - hope still 'Springs' eternal for better ridin' weather.
