Default I wanna ride!

Here in western NY today the weather is raining, 38 degrees,and generally crappy. I put 6000 miles on my bike since I bought it in June and I put it away in Nov. I did the stage one upgrade with V&H BSS,K&N 3909,and PClll and there it sits. I can't really even hear it because I can't ride it. I changed the front turn signal location to the forks, I added the Sundowner seat, and put on the SE180 tire. And there it sits! I can't even take a decent picture of it because I can't get it out of the shed I built just for it!
I know some of you are in the same boat and I guess I just needed someone to comiserate with. I really want to ride!

Yup...Massachusetts here...woke-up to snow mixed with rain this morning! And the 10-day forecast...nothin' but more shitty freakin' weather! Living in our part of the country, you really have to take advantage of any decent winter ridin' days just to get it out of your system. I've ridin' my bike5 times this winter already & 3 times just in the past 2 weeks. Just do whatever you gotta do...bundle-up nice & warm, call-out sick from work & ride baby! You only live once! The winters in our area are too fu*kin' long & the summers are too fu*kin' short!
