Red face I Need A Fix!!!

Almost two months without riding and more snow projected for today. My withdrawal pains are increasing and becoming more frequent. My wife is no help since she is going through the same symptoms.

Spring and clear roads need to come quick

here try this, Put a fan in front of your bike.. turn it on HIGH. Put the bike on blocks (or something sturdy to keep the wheels off the ground. Start the bike, pretend your going for a ride with the wind in your face

If you have a vacation coming up why not go somewhere with rental bikes available? We have a rental shop (Eagleriders) here in New Orleans--it was nearly 80 yesterday (but rainy today).

Supposed to get cold has hell again tomorrow, but at least we had today.
