Default Can't Wait Until Spring!

I rode my bike this evening. First time without the helmet. What an awesome experience!! Nextthree days it's supposed to rain/snow so I wanted to get some riding in. I can't believe I just made my second bike payment! It seems like yesterday that I bought her. Damn. I can't wait until spring!!

It was in the 50's here today (but with 35 MPH wind gusts again), so I decided to take the Sportster out and put a few miles on it....

Suppose to have another ice storm starting tomorrow, followed by snow, and temperatures between zero and ten above for the next week.

Damn winter. LoL... [:'(]

I'm riding her as much as I can. Looks like 3 days of not hitting the start button. She's wrapped up snug in a nice bike cover. All snug in her own blanket sorta speak.

Looks like winter is setting in here in OH. I did go out in the garage today and sit on her!!
I must say it was a poor substitute.
Cmon Spring!!

Freezing rain here right now, and 12 degrees.

We were up to 61 degrees yesterday.

We are suppose to get blasted for the next 2 or 3 days with ice, sleet, and snow.

But Hey, at least the wind quit blowing those 35+ MPH gusts.

How old are you? Don't take this offensively but you sound like a happy Honda rider more than a Harley owner.
