Dual-Purposed Ride
Some of my regular readers have commented or emailed me to ask why it seems as if I have not been riding my Harley very much. Well… good questions and I appreciate the concern. It is true that my Harley’s saddle has had my butt absent for most of this riding season.

Yesterday dawned brilliantly sunny. Low humidity and no rain forecast for the entire day.
I mentioned the forecast to The Spouse on Thursday, and he said what I hoped to hear, “you should go for a ride on your Harley.”
So I cleared my Saturday schedule of most things… only leaving two essentials…
