My blogroll is limited to my favorite blogs and titled Best Biker Blogs, so I can’t just add anyone who comes along. However, I received an e-mail from officer Ruben Torres complimenting me on my blog. After checking out his motorcycle blog, I decided to add it to my blogroll.

Ruben Torres is a 19 year veteran police officer, a crash specialist and a member of the motor unit. His blog Better Motorcycling is extremely informative, maybe too much so! He could be in the running with IronDad and Dave for longest posts. I think the content of this site makes it a must visit.

Ruben can have a major impact on motorcycle safety if he cuts his posts down to smaller bite size pieces. Please check out his motorcycle blog and leave a comment to fuel his mojo. I wouldn’t want to see Ruben stop writing now that he has covered all the basics. I’m hoping he will soon divulge all those super cop motorcycle secrets they teach at the academy so that we can all Ride Like A Pro.

Last weekend we were looking at highs around 20 degrees and lows in the single digits.  Last Sunday night a reported 9 inches of snow fell in New Castle County, Delaware.  It looked like this outside my living room window.

Yesterday the sun came out and it hit 70 degrees.  The crocuses in my garden are starting to bloom.

I couldn’t imagine a better reason to get my Harley (I really need to come up with a name for her) out of winter storage and take her for a spin.  (Hell, we have an Ice Cream Ride scheduled for next week!)  It was a gorgeous day for a ride, and I couldn’t think of a better belated birthday present!  So I afixed my new gremlin bell to the bike (thanks again Pete & Laurie), then RC and I headed out.  First we practiced some maneuvering and quick stops in the church parking lot down the street, then we cruised over to Port Deposit to check out the Susky River Grille for a potential location to have our chapter dinner later this month.  It was a short little jaunt, but man did it feel nice to get my road legs back! 

There is still quite a bit of road salt and sand leftover from Sunday night’s storm.  Particularly around here (because within 20 minutes you could be in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey) this can be tricky because the different districts use different products to treat the roads for snow and ice–so you never know what you are going to get around the next bend.  The pavement is wet in many areas from all of the snow melting away.  My own skills are a bit rusty, and the cagers are quite surprised to see motorcyclists out and about this early in the season.  (Even if there were a gazillion out today!)  These are all good reasons to use a little extra caution when riding at this time of year.  Although it is so very refreshing to pound some pavement, it is also a risky adventure…a little more risky than during the peak of riding season. 

To those of us in the mid-atlantic region, I know that you all are as glad as I am to be able to finally start getting in some quality riding time.  Spring is definitely in the air.  But please be vigilant while you enjoy these warmer, sunnier, spring days.  See you out on the road!

A limited supply of Camo Sliders Cargo Pants & Sliders Jeans are on sale for $59.99 at www.CompetitionAccessories.com

Link: http://www.compacc.com/p.cfm/c/2001005/p/19661

This is a great price for mens Kevlar Motorcycle Riding Pants and being one who doesn’t pass up on a good deal I purchased a pair last night. I haven’t bought from this website before, but it looks like a good company. They have a printed catalog and take orders by phone which indicates to me this is not a fly by night operation. I bought two inexpensive motorcycle covers to increase my order to $100 in order to get free shipping.

I have been advised to cover our motorcycles overnight when we visit the Outer Banks next month due to the salt in the air from the ocean; so that’s why I bought the covers.
