Default Chose Wisely

Riding season already started here in NJ but -
Opened the front door this morning and even though it wasn't raining it felt kind of cold. I'll go in almost anything as long as it's not freezing (ice) or precipitating. Screw it, I took the cage in to work. Local bank showed 27 degrees and I drove thru flurries. Friggin winter just won't seem to end.
Guess I'll try again tomorrow! For all of you out there not confronted with the winter you have my envy. I'm not long for NJ any more. HAVE A GREAT DAY RIDING!

The roads were clear and the snow was melting here the other day it rained most of the night and all day saturday. I was excited thinking I could ride this week and sunday I woke up to a big kick in the *****, 3 inches of new snow. I got my bike in november and have 250 miles on it and this seems to be the longest winter ever.

So you're the one who's causing all this crappy weather by buying a new bike in the middle of winter. Well, she's a beauty, and she's gonna stay that way sitting in the garage....'cause of you Spring has been cancelled. Couldn't ya of bought a snowblower or a new snowmobile instead.

HA, I'll take the blame. The deal I got on the bike is worth an extra week or two of winter.

Be careful of the salt patches places where the truck dumped it real thick.

Screw it, I rode into work today. I GOTTA get a pair of heated gloves or put on the heated grips. Weather permitting i'm in for the season. Now, if I could only figure out how to get out of Jersey!
