Triumph Year 5, Day 1 (March 8, 2021)

Temperatures up in the low 60's, which is warmer than typical for this time of year, and took full advantage. Have been getting the motorcycle back up to speed (mainly getting the battery charged back up and adding fuel) but got out for a ride on this fine day. First time I have been on it since November 28 of last year, which I guess is pretty typical for living in Ohio. We had a winter of snow (heavier than last year) and some serious cold with lows close to zero. 
Still, it sure felt wonderful to get out. I headed out toward New Carlisle, Ohio and from there up to Highway 571. Took that road into Tipp City and that is a favorite of mine. Interesting place and enjoy checking it out. Today though it was all about the ride. I did make a quick stop at the Waco Aircraft Company. 

Waco Aircraft is a very historic place and one I really enjoy just outside of Troy, Ohio. I have a close up of the sign seen at left directly below. The company was in business for a number of years making some legendary aircraft. They also made gliders used in the D-Day invasion in WW2. 

I have a couple more photos taken in Troy below the sign. I got in a little over 50 miles on my first ride of 2021. Actually planning to put the motorcycle in the shop in Dayton tomorrow. It is about time for the 12,000 mile service but want to get that going before the motorcycle riding and repair season really gets going. The wait in shops gets really long when the riding gets into full swing. 

Looking forward to some great rides and fun adventures this year!
