High of 28 today. Sounds like it might finally break into the 30s and dare I even say 40s next week.

I have been tempted, but it was only 28 today. Still too much sand and salt on my roads. Rain and warmer temps, in the 40's are coming next week. If enough of the salt is gone, then I will be more than ready. [sm=bounceybounce.gif]My poor wife is ready to kill me if I don't start riding soon. [sm=chairshot.gif]

That's why I moved away from NE Ohio. Couldn't take the "cabin fever" anymore.

Hey Blade, I have a sister in Greenville. She keeps telling me I should move. Maybe she is right. [sm=boink3.gif]

I know that hard to be really hard for you to admit!! My sister is never right about anything (in my mind)!!!!

Honestly, it's been a pretty nice place to live. Been down here for about 6 years. Cost of living is very cheap, and the whole area is growing like crazy. The mountains are only 30-45 minutes away and they have some incredible twisties!!! Come on down!!!!

I wish we'd get some balmy temps like that. We picked up the '04 500 Ninja we bought for the wife this morning. Or should I say I picked it up. She drove my truck back home. About a 50 km ride (roughly 30 miles) in -10C (around 15F) temps. At least it was clear and sunny. Colder than a witch's teet, but clear and sunny. The things we do for the women folk...
