Celebration .....



Well, I just returned from my Winter Solstice celebration...

It all started at the company party tonight - I was talking to a few people 
about the full moon and the subject changed to the Winter Solstice - the 
official time was said to be 2:45 a.m. EST  .... so I decided that I needed 
to take advantage of the nice weather and the awesome full moon and break 
out the ST to celebrate.

After I got home, I laid out all the riding gear and then headed off for a 
few hours of sleep. Just after 2 a.m. the alarm went off and I suited up. 
Fifteen minutes later I found myself turning off US1 onto the road that 
would take me out to the northern end of the Space Center and into 
Canaveral National Seashores / Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.....

The ride was awesome - the temperature was a very mild 66 degrees F - and 
in honor of our northern riders, I even left the vents on the leather 
jacket open! ;-) The moon did an awesome job of lighting up the scenery and 
I found myself wising on several occasions that I had a way to switch off 
the lights.....

A little over an hour and a half later, I found myself back at my door 
thinking that the ride had ended way to quick ....

I really love this bike !

BTW - if any of you western listers are still up and it's not too cold, you 
owe it to yourselves to get out there and take a short spin....
