I might have to scratch doing a sunday meetup, talking bout a HIGH of 35 with a low of 18. Too cold for my ass to head out too far. I'll ride in the 40's but not freezing temps.

edit: Hey Steve you don't happen to work at Adrenaline Powersports off of the blvd right near 17th street would ya?

Ahh gotcha, I met I believe the owner down at BP couple months ago and got some cards, sounded like a good place and he seemed like a cool guy, I believe he was Alex, can't remember though. Just had me wondering if you started working there since you mentioned it was at the beach.

Just be careful...it doesn't matter what cc it is, it's two wheels. Don't push yourself, it's pretty easy when you get the basics down. You'll get the experience over time.

OBTW remember if it's cold, tires have no traction til they warm up. Just take it easy.

I just realized you look small as shit in that picture of you on your bike.
