After a few nice days a couple of weeks ago, days where I was able to get out for several hours of riding, the weather has returned to nasty, windy and relatively cold. This morning its 39 degrees, and winds strong enough that I just had to retrieve my trash cans and recycle bins from halfway down the block. The few nice days we have had lately I have had commitments that I could not change or cancel, so my plans to finally be able to take a demo ride on the new bike I am considering keeps being put off again and again. I'm too old to be wasting this much time without riding. Maybe I did something to offend the Gods of Motorcycling, like openly say that I am planning on trading in my Goldwing, or rolling my eyes when my neighbor asked me if I was going to buy a Harley!
