Default "Mr. Grumpy"

Does anyone else get real grumpy when you cant go for a ride? I have been in a bad mood all week, and I just know if i could just go for a little ride I would come back, I and everyone else around me would be VERY VERY happy. I haven't rode since the beginning of December because there has been snow and ice on the ground that long, and its finally getting to me!!!

Hey man, I feel for you. I haven't been able to ride for 2 days and I think I'm going crazy - if I went 2 months without riding, I'd end up killing someone!

I hear you. A good ride would make anybody easier to be around. Hang in there! Spring is coming.

I find sticking your tounge to the frozen mufflers helps

You gotta ride something regularly, or the testosterone will build up to critical levels.

In the southeast, it's hard to get the grumpies, but the bike does keep me on an even keel!
