I'm whipped. I ended up putting in about 165 miles. It hit 94 today. On Monday, just north of Austin in Georgetown it snowed. What the heck is this hot stuff???? Regardless it is a beautiful day. I started by riding my favorite twisties (only twisties in the area) and kept going to Mable Falls, Lance Armstrong's neighborhood, up to Burnet, and then a loop back to Austin. There was NO ONE on the roads!
I recently bought a "Get Outta Town" map from Mad Maps. They create a variety of rides, types and lengths, and list different roadside attractions for a given area. I've ridden a lot of the road on the bicycle but many today were brand new to me. The map also took me on roads I never thought of riding on. Almost all were backroad two lane roads through the country side. I was able to travel at 75 to 85 mph for a lot of the ride.
I also found out that the FZ is dead stable at 118 mph, what an awesome bike!
Spring is coming folks, hang in there!
