It was a beautiful day yesterday in Arizona so I got some riding done! I rode the Silver Wing with some fellow American Legion riders to Kingman Arizona for lunch, great ride and food! Close to 70 miles on the scoot.

After the conclusion of that ride, I hadn't had enough so I took the trike out and put nearly 40 miles on it too. Both bikes ran great (both Hondas of course) it is supposed to cool off and rain today so I am very happy for that little break to RIDE!

I'd change that to ride whenever you want to with a purpose and destination in mind. Riding round aimlessly and without a reason isn’t worth getting into your riding gear for.

I've just had new tyres fitted. I'll get the wheels back on tomorrow and then do some aimless riding to bed them in. Then it's time to ride.

I had a set of new tyres fitted a month ago, none of this loose wheels nonsense either. Ordered the tyres a few days before I had them fitted, then took the Forza in and spent a hour drinking the dealerships coffee, eating a pack of KitKats (made in York), and reading back copies of Motorcycle Sport and Leisure while the tyres were fitted. The Forza was alsogiven a free Health Check by the friendly and very competent techie bloke.

Then bedded the tyres in by taking a ride to a Waitrose in the next county. The Michelin City Grips felt good from the get go, scuffing off mould releasing agent from the tyres seems to be a thing of the past in recent years.

I'll leave the aimless riding to the packs of loud exhaust, dark visored, weekend  throttle jockeys that shatter the traditional Sunday morning tranquility riding off to the same old biker hangouts.

I will add that I am SURE glad I rode yesterday! We got quite a bit of rain this morning so the bikes are resting peacefully in their garage! Sun just came out so perhaps tomorrow is a riding day? LOL

Pleased to hear you had a good ride out, you need to ride when you can at this time of the year, there is nothing better than an aimless bimble about on a bike in nice weather.
But it's still mostly cold and wet with occasional ice and snow up here so I'm doing more Suzuki miles (the Suzuki has 4 wheels and a roof).
