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?)

RE: Canadian Winter Blues
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!!

RE: Canadian Winter Blues
southern ontario has been pounded this year. i live in acton and i haven't seen this much snow in a long long time. whats worse is that i just bought an new xbones and i can't take her out for a spin. hopefully the rest of february and march fly by as i make plans for some mods. so for now i'm grinning and baring the long winter. afterall we are canadian...
