Author: Welcome to 2012!
What else is there but to go for a ride? The morning started out basic enough, watching some soccer and drinking coffee…and then I watched the weather app on my laptop tick over 41 degrees.
Open the shade, mostly sunny, a few clouds and no chance of rain.
I fired up the Triumph, it’s three cylinder burgle always bringing a smile.
I loaded some extra winter clothes into my panniers and headed out out toward Eatonville. The day was perfect if just a little chilly as I headed up the outskirts of the mountainside.
The roads were pretty good but a bit damp where covered in shade so I took it at my usual winter-cruise speed.

Just another post to update you on my adventure with the 2006 Triumph Sprint ST. I’ve had it for four weeks and have approx 1700 miles under my belt as they say.
This isn’t so much a motorcycle as it is a smile induction system.
I have had this bike on some pretty long rides and some short blasts and the only thing I want to do when I get home is to just get back on it 
Here is the route of my last big ride. I didn’t have a ton of work and just couldn’t pass up a sunny warmish day this late in October.
As you might remember, I picked up a used Sprint ST with 9300 miles a couple weeks ago. Well I now have ridden it for about 500 Miles.
Each mile I ride I like this bike more and more.
As I mentioned in my first post it requires a different riding style and i am starting to get comfortable on it.
One of the best reviews I read said that he was going to ride his Sprint ST until it fell apart then he would buy another one.
At this point, I completely agree with that
