Well, it looks like winter has decided to show up in the Black Hills. It's snowing right now and looking very white. Weather guys are saying ~ 2"'s in the Hills and dusting down in Rapid. 60°'s next week.
We need the moisture bad !

Yep its killing me. I do ride all year but this on January 12 I had out patient surgery that was to be a two week recovering things went wrong and still dealing with it. I hope be next Tuesday its all over. Hope to be back on the bike in a week or two. No that 62 chev conv is beautiful and one of my top 10 favorite cars. In 1965 I had a 62 conv 327 4 speed after about year a car broadsided me totaled. I have always wanted to replace it. I was just thinking of selling my Corvette Conv and looking for one. I seen one in Reading Pa for sale.

Kansas city, Mo - I got nice ride on Thursday also. The temps in the mid 60's but it was windy with 35- 40 mph gusts. Today winters back highs only gonna be 37* with a chance of snow tonight. It was fun while it lasted.

This has been a brutal winter in Michigan.
Damn globel warming.
Last rode Jan 9th and it looks like not again until at least the same date in March.
2 solid months.
I even had to hook up the battery tender once already.
But it's almost over.
Only 4 more winter weekends!
Anything over 32° is good as long as it's been that way for a day or so so that there's no ice or snow on the road.

I had to go out and blow snow off the drives. Maybe an inch total. Sun is blazing and it feels way warmer than the high 28° my outside thermometer is showing. The roads ae wet with melt = no riding for a few days.
60°'s next week ! Cool. But it is just beautiful out today.

The new motorcycling season has begun!
Glorious Day!
First ride to work since December.
27 degrees this morning in Detroit but it's going to be 55 when I leave here.
Don't generally like to ride under 32° when there's the possibility of ice on the road - but 55 this afternoon!
While it may be another 2 or 3 weeks before it's this good again (spring is 3 weeks away) - The new motorcycling season has begun!
