Motorcycling in Seattle

So I went for a ride this morning..... It was about 28 degrees, maybe a bit less. It was just supposed to be a quick run to the coffee shop to meet my buddy Jay and see if any of the poseurs show up.

Turned out I was the only one who went. Something about ice on the streets seems to freak people out. Hell, it's not like the ice was everywhere. It was only in the spots where one might expect it, and it was easily seen. There were only a couple of creepy parts and they were all close to the house. No biggie.

Anyway, I had no problem getting back on the steed. Muscle memory seems to still be there. My only input error was an over-application of the front brake.... not a lockup, just a "wow, these sure are responsive" kinda thing. I corrected as quickly as my goolies hit the back of the tank!
