A few months back at the end of a post there was a mention of riding gear. Today, as the temperature capped out at 102°F in Houston Texas I ordered the jacket that will allow the liners taken out leaving mesh and protective plates for summer riding.

My brother-in-law has purchased a Harley and will take riding classes next week. It has been at least 20 years since he has ridden! The classes are essential. I am glad for him and hope we can team up for a ride sometime in July.  I’ll not  ride two-up with him for a while.  Do I trust him?  Absolutely.  But in this case, brains overcomes trust.  He must reacquaint himself with handling the bike in all situations one-up again first. 

No, there has been no Backseat Riding with MH2 for more than a month for between my trips, his work, his trips and life in general there simply has not been time. It will prove to be a very hot summer, but overall I am looking very forward to riding Backseat again despite the heat.

Hope the roads you travel are smooth and the sights breathtaking!
