Default sun bathing

I was just wondering if anyone else takes there bikes out of the garage on a cold sunny winter day to sit in the sun and watch it? I find myself doing this when it is too cold to ride or if I had to many drinks in the morning to ride. Am I a little crazy orare there anyone else who does this?

Dude. Women are meant to be admired, bikes are meant to ride. If there's no snow on the ground, ride it.

I take her clothes off occasionally and just stareat her in the offseason.Feels good.

But I won't get on her - that'd be a little premature - too tempting/depressing.

12 more weeks or less!!! Last year shewas rockin' and rollin' by the Ides of March.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
