Gearing up for riding season!

We went shopping during the 20% off sale at Harley in Appleton tonight. Ed got some new boots since he has no soles left on his other ones because he used to drag his feet a lot when riding, and I got a new helmet since my other one hurts my forehead.

I really like my old helmet better, but I can't take having a bruise on my forehead after every time I ride more than 30 minutes. Oh well, the new one is black and that's good enough for me. I actually picked the one that was on clearance and I didn't even know it!

It's supposed to rain quite a bit over the next week so hopefully the roads will get cleaned off and I can get some miles on the old girl soon! Come on spring!!

The riding bug is biting me!

Ah, it is finally March. According to the calendar, it will be spring in about 2 weeks. We're supposed to have a late winter storm tomorrow - rain, sleet, ice, snow. Damn you Mother Nature! I am really yearning to get the bike out and go. I saw someone on a crotch rocket in the parking lot at work today, it didn't even reach 40 here.

I am looking forward to the sale at Harley Davidson in Appleton next week! The sale runs from the 14th through the 20th. I have to get a new helmet because mine makes my forehead hurt really, really bad, and if we are going to ride to Florida, there is no way I can wear that thing all day, I actually get a bruise from it. Ed needs new boots too so we are going to take advantage of the awesome 20% off all things Harley sale. They have some cool new tank tops too, but I can't bring myself to pay $50 for a tank top, although, I do have that gift card from Christmas...
