Default Nice day for a ride, any bikers out there?

It was a little chilly, around 50 degrees out but we have had rain for almost 14 days straight so I thought I would run out and take a quick 35 mile ride this evening. Any other bikers on the forum?

Excuse the ultra horrible photos, i dropped my cell phone and yeah it screwed it up pretty bad lol.

For a couple of years I had a Cobra 6 into 6 exhaust on it.
6 cylinders into 6 pipes.
Sounded like a stock car ... like a Chevy Nova with a 307 ci with headers.
Sounded good locally but on the highway was just to annoying.
Changed it back to stock but this was the Cobra set up......

I have a 2001 Harley Softail Standard. It's hardly standard anymore though. I've added tons of chrome, a stretched tank, and raked triple tree's. DSC00612 (Small).JPG

I am giving some serious thought to picking up a triumph sprint st later this summer. i like sport riding more than anything but i like to have a bike that is still capible of going on a trip without breaking your back. the triumph fits that pretty well, it is still fairly light and has all kinds of power and handles great. it is more sport than sport touring which is what i was looking for.
