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.

Maybe it will be safe by Memorial day.

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.
