In what has become a New Year's tradition of mine, I just returned home from taking the last motorcycle ride of 2011, and getting in the first ride of 2012. Left at 11:45pm in 2011, returned home at 12:30am in 2012.
It was fairly easy this year... no below zero temperatures, or icy spots on the roads.
A rather balmy 44 degrees with a south breeze. No electric vest was necessary for this ride. Rode two interstates, one US Highway, one state highway, and several county roads.
Happy New Year everyone!
