Just read the forecast and we're at looking at 60's this week in Minnesota. Have not ridden since November. Time to pull off the cover and tender and go for a ride. Took long enough and I'm ready.

NOVEMBER?!?!?! That's just sad. I went two weeks without riding just recently. It was tough!

COC, this will be my 61st and last winter in Minnesota. We're moving to Florida in Sept-Oct. Looking forward to no more winter storage.

Geez, here in NW Illinois since Nov 1st. I have logged over 7200 beautiful salty snow packed polar vortex miles and enjoyed every moment of it. I never wait for spring to ride. Gotta keep the skills up.

Looking at 60 next weekend here in NJ. Can't wait to get the bike out again.

I'm jealous. Roads still not good enough here to get out. Too much salt on the roads anyway. As much as I want to get out there, I can't imagine riding until sometime in April. I've got a new Ultra Limited in the garage with 52 miles on it and I'm dying to put some miles on it!

Great to hear you're making the big migration south! If I could afford it, I'd move to Austin in my retirement. Or Arizona.

Hey Mike, I'm gonna be stuck here in the Twin Cities for a couple more, until I retire. When you go South, can I have your snow shovels or snowblower?

I've been thinking about a short ride here too around Mpls. I was out chopping ice outa the driveway today. The sheet is off the bike, batterytender on, just got to change the winter air in the tyres over to spring air...
