[MEairheads] Fwd: Northeast Airheads - Spring has Almost Sprung

Thu Mar 19 08:00:30 EDT 2020

Good Panic Morning to you too!

Great to hear you got a ride in on your 77RS. I've been itching but my 
long muddy driveway has keep my 81RT on the battery tender. The only 
ride I'll get soon is if I trailer a bike out to the street or get a 
sidecar or trike. I was really hoping to do a ride on the Spring Equinox 
but I don't want my first 2020 ride to be in the rain :)
