It is that time of year again. When the frost is finally leaving the roadways and the snow is turning to rain with sun breaks. The flowers and blossoms are beginning to be seen, and motorcyclist seem to come out of the woodwork.
The time of year when riders are beginning to spend more time creating reasons to ride and not drive. When the bikes are getting gone over and awakened from their winter slumber. Tires and other necessary items are being budgeted for and put on the bike. The end of winter maintenance rituals we all seem to have been getting done. If they haven't already been completed.
If you are reading this, then the odds are pretty good you are a motorcycle rider or passenger. This is the time of year that you begin to really look forward to spending more time in the wind with your friends who ride. Whether it means throwing a get together so everyone can get a few miles worth of riding in, or sitting down and planning for a major ride later in the year. You've probably already made plans to get together and ride somewhere.
I hope that everyone has had the chance to get the final work done so they can ride without mechanical issues this year. This looks to be an interesting year, and hopefully one that we can all enjoy riding in a diverse range of places and groups of riders. And for those who prefer to ride alone, or with just one or two other bikes, I hope you find some great roads to enjoy, that will bring you to some lifelong memories. Even a ride in nasty weather can bring with it great memories. After all, here in the Pacific North "Wet" if you don't ride in the rain you don't get to ride a whole lot.
There are man wonderful places to ride to, and some incredible roads to ride in the region. I hope you are able to enjoy them and can enjoy the thrill of riding through the amazing landscapes our region has to offer. Who knows, maybe we will even be able to share some road together this year. I hope so.
Catch ya on the road sometime...
