Merry Christmas
My present was being able to get back on the bike and ride to work. This past 3 months has been the longest I've been off the bike since buying it. Ankle feels pretty dang good at the moment.

 

That’s AWESOME! A merry Christmas to you indeed sir! I’m stoked to hear you’re back on it now.

 

Man it felt so good

 

That's a great gift! It's actively snowing here, so no bike for me. Give the throttle a little extra twist for me!

 

Merry Xmas everyone! I might try and get out on the moto but it's a little chilly today, topping out around 60.

 

60? Chilly?

 

High today here might hit 40. Might...

 

Wait 60? Shoot I wish! Ive got a high of 44!

No bike stuff but a lot of tool organizers for the garage

 

no riding stuff this year, but some tools and bronco parts. That things got some spunk! Weird seeing the brakes/chain and sprocket swapped.

 

New Aerostitch AD-1 riding pants were under the tree. The pair I owned I bought used over 10 years ago and are no longer waterproof and have probably close to 200k miles on them.

I have a 40% off code that can be applied with their sales price fyi. Code: CP250

Brings it down to 85

 

Shit yeah that's wild, the travel is so small.

 

Should get a ride on it today. Of course it rained so im not sure how much traction I'll really get, lol

 

Managed to get out on an Xmas ride yesterday after all. Was a bit chilly @ 63deg, had to turn the grip heaters onto the lowest setting for half the ride back from the beach after the RC crawler session

 

Hopefully everyone has had a good holiday! Got some time in yesterday to clean and reorganize the garage.

Got the organizer all set and realized man I have a lot of duplicates and a lot of missing sockets and a few wrenches!


Currently thinking about mounting my new tires on the bolt instead of coating the wheels like I wanted to be cause of some issues.. (not with the bike)

Oh ya we also decorated the helmets with lights for the holidays because idk it sounded fun!

 

Managed to ride to work yesterday and today. Temps were just above freezing so didn't worry too much about any black ice. Need to stop for fuel on my way home.

 

Today will mark the 10th day straight I’ve been on a bike during my holiday break. The goal I made for myself was to ride very day I was off. So far, so good. This time last year I was trying to teach myself to ride, and on gravel/dirt at that. Glad to be a part of this group over here. Okay rant done.

 

Congrats on learning to ride and welcome to the madness. With where you live almost year round riding should be possible for you. Stay safe!

I track my riding days all the time. Simple method, I just use a yellow highlighter and color over the date in my day planner at work every day that I ride. I also track mileage on each of my bikes over the course of the year. Shortly after New Year's Day I'll post my results for the year.

 

hell yeah, what a present!

merry christmas to everyone, been traveling the last few days. Felt good to get back on the bike this morning.

 

I'm sitting here with a storm going that has already put down a few inches of snow.... To all of you riding the last week, and I mean this in the nicest possible way...... I hate you.
