RE: Winter blues
NAH - man, don't give up yet - may warm into fifties up here in NE this week (or so they say!).
But winter does suck - and more power to you guys who ride in all kinds of weather - these old bones call it quits when it gets into the 30's and low 40's - just call me a wimp!

RE: Winter blues
I have to agree winter sucks. Picked up the bike from the dealer after the 1000 mile tune, new pipe, a/c installation and sert install on Saturday. Rode home in 32-35 degree weather for a 60 mile run. Quite cold when I got home, but the additions/upgrades made it worth the ride home.
I'm contemplating putting it up, but hope we will have one more good day. I knowit will be time, when I see the salt trucks running down the road.

RE: Winter blues
Ok, just imagine my Biker Blues song with some Bo Diddley music in the background...what'd ya think?
Went in my garage this mornin’
To check on my ride
Just haven’t been the same lately
Since I can’t take this bit*h outside!
Now that the summer’s over
And a shi*load of snow on the ground
That engine that used to RUMBLE
Now don’t make a damn sound
What happened to the days
With all that wind in our face
Think I’m gonna move down south…
FU*K THIS COLD-*** PLACE!
Used to hop on the hog
To get away from the wife
Now I gotta put up this fuc*ing tree
And watch “It’s a wonderful life”!
From bar-hoppin’ to house hoppin’
From deckin’ friends to deckin’ the halls
Hope she doesn’t find out I blew another $Two Grand$
On more mods & installs!
Guess I’ll just count down the days
Till I can hear that V-Twin sing
Gotta go bust my *** shoveling now…
Man, where the fu*k is Spring!

RE: Winter blues
Had to put mine to bed or I was going to miss the rest of hunting season. Last week the salt trucks were loading up and ready to roll. Tonight we may get some freezing rain with snow by TurkeyDay. Every time I am sitting on a log, in the woods, I keep wishing it was my bike seat. Oh well, guess I will have to do other stuff until Spring. Hopefully March will warm up and rain the salt out of the roads. Upstate NY may be fun in the summer, but winter...............[:@]
