So Who Rode in Today?

A lifetime of riding UJMs has made it occasionally difficult to ride the Road King.

On the way in to work this morning someone slowly but deliberately merged into my lane while I frantically pushed my left turn signal button wondering why the hell my horn wasn't working. :laughing

Not the first time it's happened, won't be the last.

I've had the reverse happen to me a few times (meaning to put the signal on and honk the horn instead) and while that's embarrassing, at least it's not as dangerous as being unable to honk at someone creating a hazard.

I'm on the bike today as well since it's bound to clear up today! Might be wet tomorrow, but Thursday on is looking like smooth sailing for me :ride
 
The afternoon sky was so much nicer in person yesterday

The weather man said nothing about rain this morning... I was dry by work though

I need to find a better helmet cam
 
Do you know where this is?

I had the most fabulous ride over 17 to the coast. Spent all day under the glorious sun having the best day of my remembered life. I encountered the nicest moto bud on the way back, and we had a blast over the best part of 17 back into the bay. I wanted to fist bump you man...!
 
I rode in today, twice! The first time was taking my daughter to school on a bicycle 🥶 it was 35F. It was her choice for doing well in school. Let's see if she wants to do it again tomorrow :laughing That made the second ride in feel balmy...

I see sun outside my office window and it's trying to get me to play hooky...
 
RIP rider :rose
