Was 47 today, got repairs to do but wanting badly to ride. Glad you enjoyed the temps. We're thinkin in feb or march the crap will hit the fan here or the farmers will really be hurtin to plant crops at springtime. Gotta have that moisture that a good snow cover does for the spring when the ground thaws out!!

So you're short on ground moisture so far this winter?

My cousin recently moved to Melbourne to be closer to her kids & get away those cold West Virginia winters. What was the temp there today?

85 sounds great! Handling a 20 foot wave is a little beyond my capabilities.

I think 20s are beyond most. Including me.

We had 66 deg in Kansas City. Got off work at 3 and put 160 miles on the scoot. Ran until the fuel light came on. Bikes out all over the place. Great ride. no particular destination, just out rollin'!! Sposed to be nice this weekend too, not as nice, but in the 50's. I did the bike thing year round for a while when I lived in VA. Don't need to do that anymore, so if it aint above 45 or so, no reason for me to be out on it. LOL
