Default PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome)

It was only 30 degrees here (Baltimore) today, but I got a 30 mile ride in before it started sleeting. Kind of a mini shakedown before I ride down to Daytona in a couple of weeks, providing the weather cooperates. Wanted to try out the 4" pullback risers I installed last week. I like em. They make the Fatboy a lot more comfortable.

Last weekends ride it was 55 degrees here in the midwest and yesterday and today I am digging out of 12 inches of snow. More snow forecast for Monday. My bike won't see the road for a while.

Haven't started mine in 3 months, last ride was 50 miles the day before Thanksgiving, down side of living this far north but wouldn't change that for nothing. Hopefully by the end of March it'll be on the road again.

Going to be in the 50's here tomorrow, overcast, maybe a shower, but I am heading out to ride around town. I've only put about 80 miles on my Night Train since I got her.
