I'm on a roller coaster ride here in Denver. Below freezing, maybe some snow then a day or 2 near 50 or above, not enough time to melt the snow. So I see the 50s approaching, get my hopes up, only to have them dashed on the rocks of destiny when I see that the ice hasn't melted off my side street enough for me to get out. SIGH.
My Fort Collins buddy sent me a picture last week when he and the boys rode up to the Mishawaka Amphitheatre during a lull in the weather. My western friends are all about BMW's and old English iron (Triumph's, Norton's and BSA mostly.) and love to break my chops about my preference for MoCo bike's.
He made sure to tell me that the barmaid noted that they were the first up this year, and he added "I Guess all the pirate riders were in town with their loud pipes saving lives!"
The chopper has one of those lithium batteries in it that won't discharge, so we'll see.
I have one for my Glide and didn't believe the talk of them not discharging, so bought its special charger. When new it took a while to come up to a full charge, but now only takes a few minutes.
No heated garage, so I can't do any of the little projects I have plans for on either bike.
Same problem here, although your weather is worse than ours.
Yeah you guy in Yankee land have been catching all the cold , here in TX where doing the roller coaster thing as well warn then Ice all over , then warm & round two of ice is on it's way , I have a buddy up just out side minnaplas & he says - every day for awhile now
the ballon popping dog on the jay leno show picked the seahawks...should i call my bookie? i got in a $100 per square pot at the golf course and my numbers came up 0 and 0! already won $300. pot pays every time the score changes, each quarter, and most of the money at the end of the game. they also run the numbers backward and pay on that too. hope that 0/0 number comes up many times!!
I have a stack of boxes of new parts for the Dresser and the Slim in the Garage, the temp in the garage is lower than outside it seems.
Ohio weather sucks right now, it seems the heat wave won't start here till Wed this week, their saying a high of 31 deg.
I get to go outside about every hour with the new Newfoundland Puppy I have, he grabs every stick he can find and uses his nose as a Snow Plow, I'm standing there "please remember why we came out here", lol.
Yes. I'm looking at the weather next week also, shop foreman for a International dealership in Cincy. We have 200 parking spots and no parking spots open, even the trucks we repair in the warm shop won't start in the parking lot with this weather, the only thing that keeps me warm is blood pressure rising from all 200 truck owners that call and say they are priority over the other 199.
International Parts Manager in Fairbanks Alaska. We aren't having that problem this year. Been unseasonably warm here. Very few call-outs for frozen trucks. If it wasn't for the little snow that is on the roads, I'd be riding!
