CRAP CRAP CRAP - my ride is in offsite storage. Sure wish it was in my garage, would of fired that puppy up today for sure!!! 5 hrs- you lucky bastard!!!

This weather is UFB. Seriously, it has been 50 below (wind chill) here in the Frozen Tundra in January just a couple years ago.

I am now a firm believer of global warming (and keeping my ride closer to home)

Appleton, WI ( 30 miles south of Green Bay)

Rode to work today in SE Michigan. Round trip about 40 miles. Couldn't wipe the silly grin off my face all day.

3 other bikes in the lot at work... An employees BMW K Bike (He rides all but 3-5 days a year), and a New Fatboy.
