Default Canada Sucks!

Winters are to damn long here.

March, I hope the Chinooks does it's thing and spring arrives early. Only good thing about winter...it renews the love.

Anyways...time to take the blanket off the bike and start another round of mods!

I hate you Americans

End of rant.

Getting ready to start on my mod list so didn't ride. We are getting to that time of year here when we are going to get a lot of hit and run snowstorms that will interfere with riding on a consistent basis. For instance it's supposed to be near 60 today but get snow tonight. And we're due for a big one. Just sayin.

sounds like here long winters, working on the bikes keeps me out of trouble though ,last few winters have been very mild only problem is the salt on the roads to ride even on a nice day say 40 or so until we get spring rains to flush the roads clean

We are in another winter storm warning for tonight and tomorrow. It has been a great winter for people with snowmobiles, way to long and cold for me.
