Get me outta here
Dateline - Ottawa, Ontario
The bike still sits in the garage....why? Because yesterday we had over 20" of snow to bring our total this year to an astounding 160" . I can't take it anymore. The piles beside the driveway are over 10' tall and the sidewalk is a tunnel. I would load the RK up on a trailer and leave except that the traler is under 8' of snow. My wife's new Sportster arrives in 5 weeks and her riding course is in 7....good luck on that.
I hate it here, well 6 years to retirement and a complete move, full time, to North Carolina
Arghhh

I grew up in north central Wisconsin and remember the piles of snow every where. Don't live there any longer.
I feel your pain and understand why you want to move a bit south.

I am feeling bad for you. The wife and I went for a 90 mile ride yesterday. The temp was 69! People can joke about Fresno all they want. I love it. Do you think I fell bad about riding when you people are fighting snow blindness? NOT!

RE: Get me outta here
Hey Paul, I share not only your frustration but your snow as well. I am sitting here in Morrisburg Ont about 40 miles south of you on the St Lawrence River and I just came in from shovelling a path to my garage and my 07 Street Glide. The snow was chest deep and I am close to 6 feet!
I retired last year and had a great summer of riding so this winter seems interminable. proud to be canadian but not at this price! North Carolina sounds great but South Carolina sounds warmer!
