I missed out on some good rides yesterday and today because it was GOING TO rain ...

Not 10% 20%, but I was showing 70% through the morning hours. They were even further off yesterday. It's looking pretty sunny out here right now by Lake Travis, as I watch golfers golfing, thinking "this motorcyclist should be motorcycling!". Anyone else not ride yesterday or today cuz you assumed it was going to rain? Beyond missing the fun factor, I would have saved about $10 bucks in gas! I had to be at my first appointment this morning at 7. Yep, when it was nice and cool out. I'll bet if I went and put my gear on, the rain would immediately come.

Alright, I guess I'm done whining...

😢😤

All right, now I guess I'm done...

Anybody from Cedar Park participating in The Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride this Sunday?

Hey all! I'm planning on participating in The Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride this Sunday, but I'm a little nervous about going all the way out to Central Machine Works on my 71 Honda. The furthest I've ever gone on it is about 20 miles away. It's mostly reliable, but I might feel better if someone was headed that way too. Either way, here's a pic of my bike just to show off. :D

Practice area

Any good recommendations for area in North Austin that offer an empty lot and allow motorcycles? Just bought my first bike and would like to practice the basics of breaking as I get familiar with it but don't want to do it on a public street.
