Hiya Roady I'm here In St.Johns also. I got out of snowmobiling last winter and for some reason now ... WINTER SUCKS !!!!!!! Mannnnn I want to ride. I've got a nephew down In North Carolina who rides , and he wants me to come down there , but I'm out of vacation time until March. I used to work at Federal Mogul , and had all kinds of vacation time there , but since I started my new job .. well .. It's like starting all over.
Hope ya had a good holiday
Eric

exit 36 of I-69. This is the first year I haven't been able to ride all year. Normally ride if over 25 deg and no salt but with all the salt and puddles I will wait for a while. I did ride last January, one morning on the way to work encountered 10 mileS of black ice. My *** was glued to the seat all the way. Passed a crash on top of a bridge and the cop there gave me the "LOOK" as I passed.

I live in Eaton Rapids just south of Lansing. I ride a 09 Heritage and will soon be riding a 09 Electra Glide Standard. As soon as I get the EG and the roads are dry I'm riding I can't take it any longer.
