RE: Canadian Winter Blues
Got out today for the first time since late October, +10 in the sun but it was cool along Burrard Inlet. Then the starter packed it in at my last stop for fuel before heading home. :>( Got it started but it doesn't sound good so I hope I can get it fixed before the next nice day here in the Lower Mainland. (Anybody else been having starter problems on 07/08's?)

Signs ole Wiarton Willie may actually be right for a change. Warmed up considerably this weekend. Major arteries were almost passable. Even considered getting the plates renewed on the old Magna yesterday, and going for a boot yesterday. (still way too filthy for the Fat Boy...Magna is the beater bike...) I actually saw a fellow out on his Softail early this afternoon, as we were heading home from my son's soccer game. I got so excited just at the sight of it, I honked my horn, and game him the thumbs up. I could see him giving me the "who the fug are you?" look. I felt like a total schmuck. lol He was going by me at the intersection, and I'm sure couldn't see the small HD sticker on my side window. Winters like this are the reason teh wife and I have plans to do the snowbird thing, once we retire. Life's too short to spend half the year dreaming about riding!!

Where are you in Vt Captain M?
I'm in St Albans. Today it is warm enough to ride, but I got a broken leg so I'm going to have to wait until the next warm day.
