Im jealous... sitting in my livingroom watching it snow like it has been ALL DAY. I have shoveled my driveway twice today and will probably have to again before the day is over. I sometimes hate living in Ohio. I think I'm ready to move!

Anyways- have fun and think of all us northern folks while your riding!

I did the same thing yesterday (Tuesday - in Japan). The weather was supposed to be lousy all week, so I filled 'er up with gas, polished 'er, locked 'er up and covered 'er on Monday evening, but it turned out to be so beautiful on Tuesday with temps reaching 15*C (almost 60*F) that I had to break 'er out again go for a nice afternoon/evening ride. It was like spring! I had the face shield up with the wind blowing in my face.

I may do the same today (only earlier), if the weather holds out.

Good ride today, and the temp had
fallen to right above 30* by the time
I got home. I will NOT forget to take
my battery-heated glove liners again.
I was so happy to hear that HD fired
up and running that I failed to put them
in the tourpak before I took out. Live
and learn they always say. CMA chapter
meeting was good with plans of bike
blessings, chili cook offs, rides, and
working some rallies coming up.
