. . . It's Riding Time

            Polished and ready. Time to ride. 


Not a lot of riding this past week - two days were spent near Hartford, Connecticut and the last several days have dawned wet and rainy - the remnants of another storm. 


I'm tempted to go now - the sun is 'sorta' shining and the road is dry.

"You need more practice," he said as he pulled off his helmet. 


"It was the exit ramp...?" I asked. 


He nodded. 


"That. And the fact you we speeding - almost 90 MPH - on the freeway." he said.


No way. I was watching my speed closely - no more than 70, 75 tops. But he disagrees and says either my speedo is off or his is. I suspect he was looking at his tach...


Later, I back the Harley back out for another trip. He just watches but doesn't move to join me. 


"Another time," he says.


"Sure," I said. "There's always time..." 


Let's ride.
