Default Almost here

You know guys (and gals). We'll soon be reading of more folks riding instead of working on mods. The riding season is just around the corner for all of us. I'm looking at more time in the seat starting next week. I surely hope everyone has a good, safe riding season. Might see you at a rest stop somewhere.

Man, you sure are optimistic. I would have to wear 3 foot boots to even GET to my bike. I do spend some lonely nights with her wishing the warm weather was here. Sh&t, nevermind the warm weather, just not salt on the jesus roads!

NE roads are riddled w/salt, sand, etc...until good rains come in Apr. Not that my bike will melt if it gets wet/dirty, but way too hazardous until the crap washes away so my scoot stays parked until mid-late Apr.

Ya but you at least have 2ft of fresh pow over there. We ride mountain sleds in the winter in the Pacific NorthWest. (steep and deep). We havent gotten any snow since christmas. I have taken my Harley out a few times in January. Now thats rare.
