Last week was Motorcycle First Thursday at Dulono’s Pizza in Minneapolis. It rained heavily most of the day, so attendance via motorcycle was very low. I counted eight bikes including my own. I’ve seen more riders in December! It was quite a difference from September which had the parking lot crawling with people and the air buzzing with motorcycle exhaust.
Inside was warm and full of people talking bikes. I chatted with a few friends before calling it an early night. The rain finally stopped before I left which made the ride home much more enjoyable. I love the crisp feeling of a night ride in the fall. The cool breeze creeping in around all the vents and gaps in your gear to keep you extra sharp and attentive.
I wonder how many will show up next month…
Those times when you ride in the chilly weather and think why am I cold there? The chill seems to seep into unsuspecting spots in our gear sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel the cold then you must be still alive. So it must be a good feeling...
ReplyDeleteI suspect that over the next few months you may only see ~1 maybe 2 bikes (gotta allow for rounding errors). I wonder who that would be...
