First motorcycle ride of the season

Yesterday we were riding snowmobiles in Maine, today I put the battery in and took a nice motorcycle ride down to Concord.
It isn't even the middle of March yet.

Good for you for being able to get out yesterday, what a great day. I have seen at least one motorcycle in every month for the last 12 months.

Keep a steady grip, lots of sand on the roads up by us.

That's good to hear, you picked a great day for a spin.

I've been riding now and then all Winter. My favorite day involved a 35 mile back road loop through Nottingham, Deerfield, Candia and Raymond, followed immediately by ice skating with my kids on the pond behind my house. I think it was late January. Not too often I can do those two things on the same day.

Be careful if you wander down some dirt roads, they are really greasy right now. My sport bike was quite a handful in the mud on a recent ride. It's also pretty dirty...
