Another year!

Wow! It is finally spring, and this weekend we rode our bikes for the first time in six months! I figured I'd forget everything I learned last year, but I was able to let out the clutch and go! Unfortunately, while the shop tuned the engine, put in a new battery, and got it running extremely well, they also adjusted the clutch release back to full extension! My fingers aren't long enough! First gear KILLS me! And I have a big blister between my thumb and forefinger to prove it! So back to the shop for that fix...Otherwise, the riding was great! We trailered to St.George, then rode to Las Vegas to see Tiffany and Chris (Chris was performing at the Sun Coast). And of course, the weather in Las Vegas was predicted to be in the 90's--finally we were able to get out of the rain and snow!! YEAH! And it delivered! We spent Sunday cruising around west of Las Vegas. Went through Red Rock National Park (gorgeous!), took a picnic lunch and had a nice rest. Continued to Bonnie Springs Ranch and further down the road. I actually rode in a tank top and cutoffs!! Of course, a helmet--Nevada law! Yes, we got red--just couldn't resist exposing our skin to the warm air! Monday was cooler, but still comfortable for our return to St.George. Put 'em back in the trailer to head home--to more rain and COOL temps. DARN! But stay with me-there's more to come! Have the Utah State HOG Rally in May, and we are planning a trip to New Mexico in July, and a return to Sturgis in August! Not to mention daily rides around here once the weather finally warms up!! See you soon!
