Busy with chores around the house on Saturday, and also taking five of my senior pals to get groceries, we accomplished our chores by early afternoon. Then my fiance said, &#8220;it&#8217;s nice out, why don&#8217;t you go for a ride on your Harley? The weather won&#8217;t be suitable for riding soon, so ride when you can!&#8221;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nMy wonderful fiance, he sure knows me well!  (Perhaps he is saving up for when I begin to have cabin fever. He can say, &#8220;remember I sent you out for a ride in the middle of November?&#8221;  LOL!)<\/p>\n<p>I called a few buddies, and they were up for it. &#8220;Let&#8217;s ride somewhere&#8230; anywhere&#8230;.&#8221;  Sure, let&#8217;s go!  <\/p>\n<p>It was sunny, and the temperatures had warmed to a balmy 55\u00b0F (13\u00b0C). I put on a pair of leather jeans, with thick leather chaps over them, a leather shirt, pair of Wesco Boss boots, and my Langlitz jacket.  <\/p>\n<p>By the time I got my Harley out of the garage (where it is stored behind two vehicles), my buddies rode up on their Harleys. We took off and had a great ride!  (Photo below is me, ready to go, across the street from my house. Photo above was taken by a buddy riding in front of me, holding the camera for an over-the-shoulder shot.
