Default Worst day of the year!

Finished cleaning the bike today for winter storage. Froze my a## off and my fingers were numb by the time I finished. If only momma wouldn't have had other plans for me Monday! I cursed her every single spoke. I could've gotten in a nice last of the season ride then, too. I was right, now it's frick'n cold as H , snow flurries yesterday. Winter is here to stay. Man, this SUCKS! Backed in, threw the tender on, and slipped the cover over her. Gotta shift gears now and get in the Christmas spirit! Maybe a HD wish list will ease the pain? Oh ya, please, nobody try to console me with this winter riding crap. I won't ride with anything more than boots, jacket, glasses, and occassionally gloves (clothes of course). That's just how I prefer it. Thanks for letting me vent. Hope all of you non-southern boys cope better than me.

That is why the southern MC riders are so much better than our Yankee brothers. we actually ride in the fall and winter.

But to each his own.

In the 60's today...Took the sporty out and fell in love with her all over again.
We will get the bad weather soon enough but for now the riding is still pretty good.
Around here, the weather comes and goes.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
