Congrats on the new car and, hope to see you in the Red, White and Blue all legal like someday! LOL We had beautiful weather here in March with quite a bit of riding followed by cold rain and snow most of April so, I know what you mean by the snow after the first ride. Finally getting more nice days than bad and looking forward to riding season coming into full swing!

Busted out the new car. Its awsome. Peppy and it only took a half tank of diesel to get here. Enjoyed my time Dowb in the states this past 5 days. Got to meet my fiancées Atherton for the first time. It went well. The man is pretty intense but seemed friendly enough.

Thinking I may ride the motorcycle down next time. See how the weather looks and all that. (I'm a very fair weather rider. Lol).

Side note. Took in the Syracuse zoo the other day, I recommend it. Can't get much more fun out of 8 bucks.

This summer I'll be hitting up NYC for a week. Anyone from the area have any suggestions for what myself and my fiancée should do? She is originally from long island and all her family is down there (her brother is NYPD and her dad is retired NYFD) so I'm sure they know enough but it's alleys good to get lots of options.

My brother is taking a week and a bit and riding south. He's going to hit up deals gap/tail of the dragon. Then on to Florida or south Carolina depending how's he feels. Lucky guy.

Awesome! I have some friends that have ridden it and they love it. I was supposed to go last weekend but, I've got too many other trips planned for this year and couldn't afford it since they were going for a week.
