Default Wind therapy!

After a craptastic day on the soccer fields, my son and I came home, got cleaned up and then went into the garage, took off the roof and went for a nice ride. What a great outlet! Felt so much better after a ride with the wind in my hair and sun on my face!

Sounds good, but what is a "craptastic day"? good or bad?

Sounds good. In one of my threads I stated on "How Often Do You Remove the Removable Top", I was quite surprised at how many C7 don't remove the top. Some say they never remove it, some ony a few times in many years.

Here in southern New Mexico we are finally starting our cooler weather and I am looking forward to removing the top and enjoying the fresh air and breezes.

Nice to see you are enjoying the C7 with the top off. Yes, always good to wear a hat.

I am ready for some of your "wind therapy".

Nothing like some wind in your hair and a nice ride with your son to brighten your day.

Good for you! Since I sold the '78 I've been riding a Kawasaki Vulcan. The last two weeks of beautiful weather in Kentucky has contributed to my 'wind therapy' as well. Love it!

Still too hot in NC to take the top off.
