YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aa!

My first ride of the season. 46 - 48 degrees. Sunshine, blue sky.

Took out the 2014 RT. Seventy miles so far today. Still fifteen feet of rotten ice in the upper part of the drive...but I got through it without any mishap.

Early this year. Last year 4/13/18. Been sleeping since 10/28/18. Started first try.

Looking forward to this years riding. One down and two to go.

Yes even things have changed weather-wise here in Vermont..... Although there is still a lot of loose material on the roads to make driving a challenge ….. and for me I've still got 50 to 60 feet of 2inch thick ice to cross to get to bare pavement..:banghead:.…. Mike :ohyea:

Saw 3 other Spyders out the other day, along with a few more on two wheels. The most out since this fall. It must be a sign.

Lucky You. Mine is still in hibernation. We just had a quick heavy, wet snow squall last evening. Low temps in the mid 20s. Our roads are a freaking mess. Bad potholes on a lot of surface roads and freeways. One month to Spyderfest 10. The weather has to change for the better soon!!!!!!!!
Ride safe. The cagers aren't ready for us to be on the road.

Good to hear. I will probably get the Nomad out this week, as it is stored in the garage at home. The Spyder will have to wait a bit, because it is stored at my BIL's acreage. Gravel road to get there is a quagmire right now and they are advising no un-necessary driving on them.

Which Nomad do you have? I had a 1500...don't remember the year. Traded that off for a Vulcan 2000. The only big iron that I found to big for me. That was a 900# beast.
