Where did you ride today?

20 miles to an acquaintance's house-- a good friend of the guy that sold me my ST 1300, also he has owned two ST- 1300s for years. He looked at the brakes on my bike then I rode a different route home about 25 miles. Mostly back roads good scenery lots of curves but nothing crazy-- 35 MPH rated curves.
 
I have never posted in the where did I ride today. I keep forgetting 🤔. November 23 took a ride with a buddy, a BMW rider. We live in California. There’s a really good ride from TRACY heading out Corral Hollow rd. past the off-road vehicle park (Carnage) and follow that to Livermore and turn left on Mines Road. People that live around here probably know the road? once you get on mines I don’t think there is a stretch of straight road for over 200 yards. Lots of curves. Had lunch at the junction of Mines and Del Porto Canyon Road and then continued on into Patterson and back to TRACY. It was a good ride.

Braved the 50F weather, brrr, and went to the DPS license office to try to get my Texas license. Of course I was woefully unprepared and rode away to return another day. It was actually not a bad trip as those office visits go since the greeter really knew her stuff and of course I wasn't the first ever unprepared customer. I was naive to believe MAYBE I didn't need my birth certificate--which is in storage from the move. So there you go. Yeah, you do need it, as everyone but me knows. But, wow, I do love riding in the colder weather. Have to say, I'm a bit surprised by the amount of wind I get from behind the larger wind screen. I added an extender which brought the wind over my helmet, an improvement, but the arms/shoulder catch a fair amount of air, which i did not expect. I should have, it's clearly not a wide screen like I got used to on my C10 Connie and GL1500. Still, the ST is just such a fantastic bike I look for reasons to ride it..HER, actually, Stella. Yeah, we do that in our family.
 
I don't know if I'll be riding in temps as low as I usually do during this cold season. +14F is entirely doable in comfort but below that my old circulation is beginning to show making it a bit cool to be attempting zero F any more.
Maybe once just to see if I can do it on a naked bike if the roads and weather are clear and dry.
