Default Stuck in Ohio

We're pretty snowed up here in Ohio, but I could't help to start the bike up and let it run for half an hour or so. i know
the naysayers think that this is a bad idea but she really sounds good. God, Spring can't com quick enough. Well, I guess it's
about time to shut her down. I might do a little bit of dusting next.

Got into the 50s today in Wyoming, roads are dry...so I finally got the 08 UC out of hybernation....suppose to be near 60 tomorrow, but then snow tomorrow night and get cold again....a short break in the weather, at least enough time to recharge the batteries a little...(mine....the bike was already charged). Had almost forgotten how good it feels.

Same feelings here. I got the bikes out last weekend and dusted them off and did some minor chrome additions to both. Sure would be nice to take a ride and air them out but the snow and salt on the roads mean it will be a few weeks yet. Maybe some day I will live in area that is warm year round but no time soon. To many ties here.

Ride Safe,

Mike

I believe with the lack of Ozone,Greenhouse gasses and Global warming followed by La-Nina summer has been cancelled for all nothern states this year. Got a ski for your front tire? Headed to Daytona next weekend! I WILL drink a toast for all you poor Northerners who cannot attend!
