MI's weather has FINALLY broken and we can ride every day! Today, my new RT got initiated with her very first splatters of bug guts, and for the first time in my 43 years of cycling, I had a windshield to collect them instead of my teeth!
What a fun day! I delivered eggs to my customers, stuffed the most groceries yet into my cargo cavities, got waves from EVERY other biker (and a VERY enthusiastic thumbs-up from one), and, most satisfying of all, gave hope to a young man facing back and neck surgery. He's afraid his MCing days are over and asked how I liked the Spyder, so I did my best to sell him on everything from the superiority of the tadpole configuration to the delta, to the price (he's been looking at HD trikes at $40K), to its intention for being used on highways (he wondered if they had the power for long, hard riding), etc.
I dunno, is it legal to have this much fun?

but I had to ride home before with frost on the bike, actually not bad at all on the F3 limited.
I guess :dontknow: If that's how you measure your fun. Know some local poker runs offer extra participation charge for "bug dot challenge" (%of dot covered in splatter)where for extra $ you get a 1/2" circle dot sticker you place where you think is most likely for bug splat, do the poker run and at completion as you enter the lot a event host will inspect everyone's dots for a winner, most are charity events so rewards usually pay 50/50 (50% to you/50% to the charity)& helps raise more $$for the charity, as well as just dumb fun. Any other time ill end up driving thru a swarm of splatter till then it seems:dontknow:
May just be a local thing??
