Got out on the bike for the first time since October!
Still some snow around but none on the roads. There were some patches of sand left over from the salt trucks but I was prepared for that. The other good news is we had some decent rain already so the actual salt should all be gone now.
What I wasn't ready for were the dips and humps caused by the frost heaving the pavement. Kinda like a Motocross bike on the whoops. The first one of those I hit woke me up.
It was a little chilly (7°C, 45°F) but the sun was shining and the sky was blue so it had to be done. The bike is parked just long enough (plenty long enough this winter) for the same thing to happen every spring... I jump on, let out the clutch, and am instantly reminded just how much ****ing power the thing has!
That never gets old.
