With the amount of snow outside it will be June before it'll be safe to ride.

You guys have really taken it hard up there in MA. A little harder then us. It's just been so much in such a short period of time.
I went up to the dealership on Saturday, they were having an open house free lunch and they had a DJ playing tunes, anyway it was 6 degF with about a 30 MPH wind coming from the NW, when I walked in I said to the guy watching the door, I would bet nobody rode here today, he looked at me a said, how much would you be willing to bet, he told me I just missed a guy that came in on a Triglide, says he rides all the time was just in for the 1000 mile service, he purchased it the first week of January, now that is hard core especially considering how cold it has been lately. So is it hard core or just play stupid?
Well,let's see. What makes you more hardcore--riding in 6* cold, or admitting on a public forum that you don't ride below 60,like myself & not giving a rodent's rectum that people might think you're a wuss? I think the latter.
BTW ever go out in the average neighborhood on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Florida in July, when it's 96* & 99% humidity? It is a ghost town. Except for me. All the wusses are inside,panting in front of air conditioners, & I'm out mowing the lawn,waxing the vehicles, & enjoying ever single degree Fahrenheit.
It was 4F when I woke up this morning. Frozen pipe feeding the upstairs bathroom. Jumped in the Jeep to go over to big orange depot and I can not believe how much salt and sand are on the roads! Its gonna be May before it washes away. Potholes everywhere too. Yes, I know I can sell my house and move, but I would not be able to make nearly the same income.
