Slow day at work.  Gorgeous weather.  Bike parked in the lot.  75 miles and 90 minutes later, the 12 mile commute home is done.

 ;) That's the way you do it.

"Blinky the Snowflake" made his first, but thankfully brief, appearance today. So I did see 36° for a bit.

Stopped to look at car on the way home yesterday, but it got sold...maybe next month I'll look again.
You never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrists' office.

A wee bit cooler today.  Yesterday, I was in your area.  Left Waterford and came north thru Holly, Fenton and back south thru Milford.  The Glide kinda surprised me on the handling department.  She leans pretty good.

That's because you know how to ride.

Sure beats the cornfields of northern Lapeer county, doesn't it?

Short jaunt on the FJR to the food store.

 Now I'll take the speedy to go pick up some beer for the Blackhawks/Lightning game tonight.

Headed to Cass City in the morning.  Breakfast with some old riding friends, then convert some dead dinosaur juice into forward motion.

"Blinky the Snowflake" said 32° this morning. He stopped asking if this was a good idea by Auburn Hills, so either it warmed up or he got tired.  :D

I thought it felt a "bit" cooler for the ride in today & as I was gearing up, deciding to forego the 'lectric vest thinking it dosen't feel THAT chilly! :o
On the bright side, I'm not the only one here at the shop who rode in & it looks like it'll be nice-n-sunny-n -warm for the ride home!

And that is what makes it worthwhile.  :bigok:

Off work today, but I may sneak in a short ride just because the sun is out.   :twofinger:
