Aren't morning rides (you know when the roads are dry but the sun ain't got hot yet) the most enjoyable things. I got out this morning and rode into town to the local Harley Shop. They had a swap meet there. All kinds of goodies to look at (even when you ain't got no spare money). Saw a FABULOUS XL size 3/4 helmet there in FANTASTIC condition and extremely lightweight. Could not tell what brand it was, just had a big DOT on the back. Had like a CL or CR on the inner side? Had a removable liner and flip down face shield with a $60 tag on it. This was a beautiful helmet, prolly could have bought it for $50. I didn't buy it since I have two new ones already, but I just could not get over how good it looked, flawless condition.
Talked to a few folks, smelled the boiled peanuts and just rode home (the long way). No gloves, no helmet (rare for me) just a sleeveless Tee shirt and a baseball cap turned backwards to hold my glasses on. (Alway wear long jeans and boots though). Yep I'll admit it's kinda foolish to ride like that. But at my age it ain't so much about trying to avoid injury or dying, since that'll come along in due time anyhow. It's more about living every now and again. That's all, I'll shut up now.
