i am sure we all have had the same feeling at one time or another... today i went for a quick ride before all the snow melts( its gonna be 47 and rain tomorrow here) well i tried to make it quick! i pulled into the parking lot to be greated by 3 younger kids taking the day off of school to sneak in a ride before the snow melts,cant blame them. i skipped work! they all asked 15 questions or more about the 503 then i fired it up and they shared the experience of riding the hawk. each of them laughing and giggleing as each took a turn and a spill until they figured it out,after about 1.5 hours i asked them where they were headed and if i could ride along...the expression on all there faces were as if they wished they were back in school since they didnt have a hawk to ride and had to ride their 2 skis. it was priceless! some days i feel like brittney spears with poperatzi and camera chasing me to ask questions, but i tell you...its a great feeling being a hawk rider!!!!!. i guess i really dont have a point here,just wanted to share my thoughts for today and hopefully the 3 kids will someday own thier own hawks! after about 5 hours i managed to get in about 25 miles today....and about 4 hours of talking to fellow riders...hopefully converting them to hawk riders!!! i hope everyone is having a great day of riding,im going to the garage to replace my limiter straps since they decidied the break today!!! i will be ready when the snow flies again here in buffalo! happy trails
