I know I'm not. Merry What Ever to all of you.....ho ho ho..
My son is going on his sixth cruise today with the X for a week. Are you going anywhere interesting besides the in-laws?

Springfield, MO...I rode about 45 minutes, just enough to expose the cords on my rear Z6...then to the garage to remove the rear wheel.

Temps between 40 and 50 here in Atlanta today. I took about a 70 mile ride down to Buckhead (near downtown Atlanta) and back this morning...Looking for a friend who I've lost touch with and haven't seen or heard from in almost 2 years. I found his house...or at least the house he lived in 2 years ago. No one was home so I left a note. I hope he's okay.
The ride was nice and sunny. The heated vest and grips made the day.

I probably put about 50 miles on mine today just fiddling around town. Finishing up some last minute shopping and generally just taking advantage of a sunny day. Around 50 here today and I think the same tomorrow.
Going to play Santa Claus later this evening for my grandchildren. Taking the bike then. Hope I can get the big red sack tied on the back!

Drivers were crazier than ever this Christmas Eve.
Happy Holidays.

Couldnt stand it any longer, after 6 weeks of constant overtime, both my kids returning for the holidays, and quite a bit of rain, I made my mind up last nite to just go today regardless. Up at 08:00, 35 degrees, but no rain, went out on the Rockster for around 50 miles. By the time I got back, traffic was absolutely dangerous, glad I went early.

A balmy and sunny 47 degrees today. I was working but quit early and took one of my 60-mile mountain loops from the house. Nice to be on the bike on Christmas Eve!

I got in about 250 miles on three different bikes (I am a winter storage home for several friends whose wives removed their garage parking privileges). Rode a GS, RS, Rockster and changed the fluids in two of them upon return.
Tomorrow I'll have to ride again to check my work.

Thank the lord for heated grips and thermals.
Good Tidings to you all.

I will be taking a ride and posting a report from Blanco, Texas when I get back Monday. Complete with fishing report as well, hopefully. Weather is great this time of year in south Texas.

I rode about 20 miles today, testing out a new jacket. I went out at about 3:30 this afternoon, after everyone had left our house.

Met up with MikeCam and I guess I put on around 200 miles by the time I got home. Weather was sunny and around 50 or so. It was dark by the time I got home and the heated jacket sure felt good!

Mac those pics looked good! Wished we'd been a little closer, would have been good to have ridden together.
