    Finally got some moto-therapy in today! I wasn't able to ride Friday so Steve and I planned a ride yesterday afternoon. We've gotten rain (finally!) off and on this week but when we mounted up it was sunny and not raining--at our house. We rode 2 miles to gas up, left the gas station, rode literally about 1/2 a mile and the skies opened up like I haven't seen in years! Neither of us had on rain gear so we beat feet back to our house. Of course, no sooner did we pull in the driveway (laughing our arses off) than the sun came back out. Go figure...

    So today I was bound and determined to ride! Our Sunday ride was delightful with five of us out on a beautiful sunny DRY day! Russell was driving his Bronco as he's still recovering from his knee surgery. After breakfast one of my buddies agreed to join me to lengthen the ride. When he turned off I added another 30 miles or so. I really didn't want to stop! Tomorrow it's definitely Speedy's turn to get out. I haven't been on my Speed Triple RS for far too long. So fingers crossed for another dry day and more moto-therapy!

    Steve was on his 2001 Fat Boy today. He recently had our mechanic yank out the carburetor that was in it when he bought it (Mikuni) and replace it with a CV Harddrive Moto carb. It runs WAY better now and doesn't spew a big black cloud in my face every time he hits the throttle. :joy:

    There are probably about half a dozen Bisbee Breakfast Clubs now but only one--and the original--in the town of Bisbee which is about 100 miles southeast of Tucson.

    This mural is a scene in Bisbee.

    Hopefully tomorrow I'll be posting in the What You Been Doing with Your Triumph Today? thread!

    That we did, @learningtofly! The plan is to get out this afternoon on my speed triple with Steve for a bit of a ride. It's another beautiful day here!
