The first ride of the year is what's right. Out for an hour of going nowhere. Then a little tail wiggle that said 'hey idiot, the road and your tires are cold so back off'. Aah, it was a wonderful day.
Well, I've got the bike I love, I am riding when I can and spring weather is here in northern AZ. I've got a girl who is as passionate about riding as I am and can't seem to play enough with fancy carbon bits on her 696. I've got a son who only wants to wear his Ducati Corse shirts, and a 2 year old daughter who points at the bikes and says "bikes..brum brum...." Yeah, I've got it good.
I think I will go give them all a big hug. Thanks for reminding me why we all do this crazy Italian thing and put up with the finicky Jap-riding crowds.....love my Duc!!
