This weekend could very well be the last weekend of the year that we see temperatures above freezing. We’ve already had a couple weeks below freezing and the current prediction for tomorrow (Saturday the 17th) is 71 degrees. I’m sitting at about 44-45 miles below 45,000 on the odometer and I’m just OCD enough to find 46 miles or road to run to make that milestone before packing her in for the winter.

However, there are still many things to get done on the bike. I could probably get the Speedmaster bars installed and/or the Thunderbird Sport dual disc wheel mounted up. Aw crap, I can do that shit when it’s around freezing, even in my unheated garage. It’s time to ride.

UPDATE: I did go for a ride, albeit a short one. Ran down to Boulder, MT, for a burger. Passed 45k on the odometer on the way back. It was a beautiful, perfect Fall day.
