The day after Christmas was absolutely beautiful! 80 degrees and sunshine ... and I woke up with a migraine. The headache was bad enough, but the real killer was that it was the nicest day of the winter!
I'm slacking! Already three weeks into January and today is the first I've had Rosie out! Truthfully, it's been more than five weeks since I've ridden! It's either been clear and cold, or warm and raining. We even had our phones go off with a tornado warning one night! The day after Christmas was absolutely beautiful! 80 degrees and sunshine ... and I woke up with a migraine. The headache was bad enough, but the real killer was that it was the nicest day of the winter! The Women in the Wind Vagabond Sister Chapter held their monthly meeting today at Lea's Lunchroom in LeCompte LA ... and the weather gods smiled on us, with 70 degrees and partially blue sky! Lea's is famous for it's pies, even the sign marking the entrance to town features a pie! I splurged on a piece of pecan after a tasty ham sandwich. Today is also the first time I've ridden Rosie with nothing more than a tool bag in longer than I can remember! Her bags are off so I can give her a good detailing. I can do this in the winter since I wear all my "extra" clothes. I love riding her stripped down like this, but miss my bags everytime I take them off. I was a bit overdressed today, with no place to carry anything. At least I wasn't cold!

I've been riding now for over 40 years, beginning in the dirt on a Honda SL-70 when I was 12. I always leaned more toward trials riding than racing, but also loved riding the tracks (flat track and motocross) with the guys I came up with when they'd practice (on a Honda Elsinore 125). Our motto then was "If you don't go down you're not riding hard enough!" ... not finding your limits. Archives
