Beautiful day for a ride!!

If it doesn't stop raining I may have to get pontoons for my bike. I know we're famous for rain here, but this is getting ridiculous.

Today it actually quit raining around 9am so I walked up to the insurance store to get a day permit.
But what do I see when I get there? They took an extra day off and were closed today.

So, I'm hoping for some dry weather for the weekend.

The break from the rain was short lived. It started raining about 20 minutes ago.

I got out for a ride on Boxing Day......

Riding here on Dec. 23 is analogous to playing hockey on a frozen pond in downtown L.A........ just don't get the chance to do that very often....

It was too dam slippery to be really fun. I had a few 'whoa, easy there fella' moments and one full on flattrack rehearsal, but I kept 'er upright.

Stopped at my buddies acreage and took this.....


Last Ride Of '05....

blues2cruise complained about too much rain. Here in S.E. Okla. we're 14" behind normal rainfall for the year and the wildfires are no fun. Went for a ride with the temp. of 78 and came upon a wildfire burning out of control on both sides of the hi-way. The wind gusts were clocked @40 mph! I didn't go any further cause the local volunteer firefighters had the road blocked and I couldn't see much further than 50 ft. in front of me due to the heavy smoke.

We'll be glad to take that rain from ya! jus' send 'er down this way!
