Saturday Hub and I rode our scoots over to my Mom's to put them in her garage for the winter. It was 28 degrees and I kept getting a ice cream headache from the outside in...it sucked. Can't wait til spring!!!

At least I don't have a sportster,lol.

Just teasing, no offense meant. I had a sportster too when I was little. In all seriousness I did own a brand new 1981 XLS Roadster/Sportster. Loved that bike.

Yeah, riding season's pretty much over here in New England.

With daytime temperatures topping out in the high 30's I decided to throw the battery tender on and covered her up.

I'm pretty psyched that we had a real mild Fall Foliage season and that I got a lot of ridin in.

Cheer up though badinfluence, the Holidays are closing in on us and once all that crap is over with, the bike shows will be comin around and it'll be March before we know it.


Huh, whan did I become such an optimist?

Oh they are fun as heck but you think you got problems being broke down on a motorcycle try being broke down in the middle of no-F'ing- where forrest back 40.
