My wife told me tonight, quote, I'm sick of this cold winter $hit. I want and I need to ride. She then looked at me and blamed me, I mean she down right blamed me hard for ever getting her riding her own. She called me A Harley Pusher. I have been called lots of names, but this one, I just might keep.

Yeah this winter and snow thing is really beginning to suck! Just remember ride2tires, that 50 degrees and no snow you had in SW MI, we had a couple of days earlier but it was all rain during the warm days...
Where the F**K is Al Gore with his global fricken warming now? It's -20 degree windchills here for the last few nights and the next couple don't look much better.[:@]
I'd love to kick that guy in the head.

Our only problem here has been rain....

I went bar hopping night before last....55 degrees and clear skys.....I ran into only ONE other biker. I'm thinking we here are spoiled.

It's going to be 68 and sunny Sunday.....But rain before and after.[&o]......The bikes will be out Sunday but in small groups and scattered in every direction.

I really feel for you guys up north....I spent 1.5 years in Maine and know what it's like to shovel your way out to the car and then shovel your way back to the front door.

well I'm getting better at playing my guitar[8D]My women has mentioned a few times that we should move back down south but I honestly can't see it until my kids graduate. Bri has 1 more year and Steve 3 moreThen I think it's back down south somewhere. I do hate the fact that it will bring on another house payment though. We only have 4 more for this 1 to be paid off and I hate payments of any kind[:'(]
