John it's a balmy 12 in MA. I thought you'd be warmer down there in NJ. Going to have to get a garage heater this weekend or the bike is never going to be ready for spring. Any recommendations on cheap garage heat options?

A few seconds after I took the pic, the road was covered with snow. As soon as he hit it, he slowed down and I saw the rear of the bike slip sideways a couple of times.
He signaled me and others to go around him.

There's someone who parks in the employee lot, that has ridden his scooter (sans any sheetmetal/plastic) to work on a couple of the most horrendous days this winter. He (I doubt it is a she), either is full blown nutso, lives close to work, doesn't have any other transportation, or is collecting a bunch of $$$ from his co-workers that are betting against him riding.
If I see it again, I'll snap a pic of it. I have zero idea what make/model/etc. it is, as it's really strange without any bodywork. Sort of a mini-bike on steroids, if ya get the mental image.

In 1969, I learned to ride in Chicago in January. Wore my snow mobile gear and was comfy enough. Last night, 45 years later, I went for a pleasure ride of about 60 miles for a cup of mud and slice of pie. Never got below 64°f. As we get older, we get wiser and choose better environs to live.
