Default It's so depressing!!

I left for work this morning, walked by my baby in the garage, and stoped for just a second to admire the beauty. Then I opened the garage door to find an inch of snow on the ground. ..........It's gonna be a long winter.

I can't see mine since it's stored at a friend's place. Does it make it any easier????

I don't think so. It's not like I don't think about it: I'm on eBay 8 hours a day looking (and buying ) parts.

At least you can sit on it and close your eyes...

I walked by mine this morning, opened the gate, fired it up and off to work! Looks like it will be in the mid 60's and suny today. Gotta love New Mexico in the winter. I feel for you snow bound bikers.

Mine is parked, snow out, but look at this way, last year, a Car hit me in August and I was still in bed with chance to lose my leg in Dec.

In a way, any season that ends without an accident is NOT depressing

Nothing is depressing when you are healthy and not in a hospital

That is my motto .
