In Seattle, 2013 has begun with a sunny, dry day.  It's 42F!   Cool  Obviously it's time to go out for a ride.

Well, it is about 29F here today so a good romp with the dog was in order.

This is lower Arrow Lake

Argh, didn't take a pic but g/f suggested we take a spin on the Ural to go to New Years brunch.  A brisk 36F on the way out and 31F on the return.

2013 is off to a good start.  Thumbsup

Damn Bimmer guys ostracizing the Ducati...   Lol

Ken, Kevin and I got out for a spin around Julien.  I saw 40 degrees...Kevin saw 38.  I'm pretty sure Ken was the smart one staying in denial about it all.  

All in all, a darn fine day!

Robert, how many BMW's have graced your garage?

I consider that self-ostrich, or something like that.

Same here.  It's hell just walking the dog right now.  Driveway's clear because i keep it that way, but that first turn onto the street and I'd be sliding sideways.

It's been so many years since I could ride on Jan. 1, it felt like an obligation.   Lol  As you can tell from the photo, I didn't make it out until late afternoon.

I've only been on that road twice now, but it seems like the best in the neighborhood if you just have a few hours. Is it?

CalTrans hadn't completely plowed the parking lot for the overlook so I had to climb up on the snow berm to get the pic. The FJR couldn't put out enough heat that day.

Now that I think about it, I took that photo last week in 2012, not 2013. My bad....
