Default *UPDATE* Bummed out, can't ride my 'train...

I'm in the middle of a huge (for me) project on my '07 Nightrain. I have the front of the bike completely torn apart to do some powdercoating and handlebars and it is going to be 60 degrees here tomorrow... F*CK!

Here is a pic of how my scoot looks right now. I won't be riding for at least two weeks.

Mike, ain't that the way it always goes? I try not to plan anything disabling the bike without checking out the weather @ wunderground for the next week, for just the same reason.

I guess we are in the same boat, besides im too stupid to post pics of my bike (however they are ina similar state). I guess the only real difference here that makes me feel bad for you is that there is 7 inches of new snow on the ground, the wind is blowing, and its 5 degrees outside of my garage. I won't be thinking about riding for at least 2 MONTHS!

Thanks guys, I know it could be worse. I haven't ridden since Jan 6th because its either been raining or below freezing here EVERYDAY. I finally scraped up enough money to buy some powder for my powdercoat system and some handlebars. Igot that stuff in Friday, tore the bike apart Sunday and today the weather is great. Oh well that just motivates me to focus on getting it done...
