Snowing again today.

We're supposed to see 50's next week, a couple of times, and 40's even more, so hopefully this snow stuff will be gone soon.

I'm really needing some therapy, and I'm itching even more now, since my dad gave me his 2007 Night Rod, with really low miles.....that'll change.

I'm your brother in weather-related impatience. Yesterday we got tackled by a surprise snowfall and the whole world looks like it got coated in marshmallow cream. Today is supposed to hit low 50s...so bye-bye snowman. BUT Monday here is forecast to be 70 and Tuesday is...drumroll...78 degrees. I think I need to go check tire pressures, lol.

We had near 80 deg. temps here in SC Friday, got a bit of therapy in. This time of year is a crap shoot from one day to next. Y'all up north be careful out there and watch out for the salt residual on the roads.

Pretty much the same next door here in Pennsylvania. I just hope they don't go dumping salt all over the roads today.

Got to wait until the snow is gone and the salt with it. I had an 07 DX, it was a blast definitely not a two up bike, Steph preferes the Ultra. Let me know when you are getting the Vrod out will have to pull the Breakout out and go for a ride with you.

It was 57 degrees at 6am, but everything was wet, I think from condensation. Getting into the mid 60s today. How do I pass up riding in February?? I couldn't. No salt issues thanks to recent rains...so off I went at 6:30am.

Got to work and the bike was pretty crudded up. So were my boots. Did I care? Heck no! I was grinning from ear to ear. I'll wash the bike when I get home. Probably the last ride for another month. Worth every bit of dirt too.

I managed to take out my bikes today My new scoot isn't registered yet. 07 Fatboy so just rode it up the street. But took out my old VStar out for a better ride while I could. Felt great to be in the saddle after a long winter. Damn Maine weather back to 30's tomorrow.
