I'm glad to see everybody is getting a chance to ride. I know I've been in a lot better mood since my ride. It's amazing how one simple ride can change how you feel for days to follow.

So true, so true.

My day started off running errands since I had the day off.  Had to go to the bank and the DMV.  The whole time I was out, I kept noticing how nice it was getting.  Compared to the 10's and 20's, 40 something feels really nice.

I went out to the garage, and started up the Busa and the Road Sofa to get the fluids circulated again.  As I stood there looking at the sun shining and listening to the bikes run, I found myself gathering up my winter riding suit, gloves, neck warmer, and helmet.  I went inside, got the Heine Gerrike suit on, put on my Joe Rocket boots, and went back outside to mount the Busa and head off for a quick ride.

I headed out to my usual area about 30 miles west.  Fairly boring ride, but it felt so good to be back on two wheels.  I stopped for gas, a cup of coffee, and a smoke.  As I sat outside the station, the sun was warm on my face, and I decided to just go a bit further than I had planned.

I took off and went through all of my favorite area, but didn't push too hard since the snow is melting and there's a lot of runoff water on the roads.  It was a beautiful afternoon.  The air was crisp, but quite manageable.  I had a few high speed runs when the moments were right getting well into the triple digit speeds.  Dam, I have missed the Busa.  I got a few good launches out of some corners bringing the front end up a foot or so.  I also managed to spin up the rear pretty good, but luckily I was pointing straight when it happened.

Overall, it was an excellent day for a ride.  I finished up the day after putting another 120 miles on the Busa.  I feel rejuvenated after being trapped inside all winter.

Hope those of you still stuck inside due to the weather will get a chance to have a day like this soon.  I know how it feels to be trapped by the weather.
