Default Not Wisconsin, but N. Illinois

I went for about a 50 mile ride on the old RoadKing today. Not too bad, I could have done without the wind, but it was nice. The new heated grips are awesome!!!

Not Wis., but Illinois.

Heated Grips ! Nice!

Us too, we got out for several hours, about 70 miles west to St. Charles.

It's frickin January!
Tho looks like half a foot of snow may be on the way at the end of the week.

All i say, is it's almost Spring!

I saw someone riding in Clintonville, yesterday. It was 50 degrees. I didn't think it was worth digging the bike out of the back of my garage. Cause today it's 21 degrees and snowing. Which is as it should be. God didn't intend man to be riding without chaps in Jan in WI!

A number of years ago, the latest in the year I rode was Dec 30. This year I was out on Feb 29 for my first ride of the season.
