Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh..... Snow is gone and mostly melted. Woke up to 31 deg temp this morning, sipping a hot cup of Java and thinking ... "it's a Ride Day!"
Announce it on GIO for the chapter to be aware, pull the bike out, start it up for the first time in a month (on a tender) and ... throwing codes. Have no idea what's going on but after several restarts and 10 miles, they finally clear. Only error left is one saying I've got a problem with my FOB; guessing it needs a new battery in it. Oh well. Four of us are meeting up in Lone Oak to drop off a Patch/Vest with one of our members whom ... well... had to 'repatch' in, due to missing annual dues. Great excuse to ride?
We head out on 2 laners to Longhorns' place, then find some BBQ for lunch and work our way home the long way. We decide to blow post our homes and head to SWG for a cold one. Well, for the others besides me; I'm still in "Dry January" mode but have to admit I was tempted. If I'd realized there were some Zero Alcohol Heinekens in the cooler I'd have had one or two. Oh well; water it is.
When we roll up home 140 miles later, over 4 hours has gone by. Temps are into the low 60s. Sun is out. I've got a smile on my face. It's 2025 Riding Season and I'm ready. GOD BLESS TEJAS!
