I gotta go some ware, I'm going crazy! I rode 60 miles on the way to my house (6 miles away) after picking up my new Ultra Glide on January 28th. Another 20 miles (froze my a$$ off) because I just HAD to go for a ride a couple days later. After thinking about my situation for a while I came up with a good plan. Y'all warm up your salamanders in your garages and I'll stop buy the first brothers pad thats about an hour away. Then I'll just make my way to the next warm abode and so on and so on until I'm about five hours away from the Michigan state line. Then turn around and head back to the house a different way . That should hold me for a little while. Then I'll come up with plan B. O hell what am I thinking...
What you need to do is make up a rig like they have for bicycles where you have the back wheel jacked up on a flywheel and then get yourself a big screen tv for the garage, some hot blowers with a good fan for that wind in the face effect and a dvd some dude took from a helmet cam of his trip to Sturgis and you're all set!!!
I feel for you brother. It's been 80deg + for most of the last week out here in So Cal but my ride is a crumpled heap at the dealer and I'm stuck waiting for that yahoo's insurance company to cut me a check so I can replace my ride. Either way we're both stuck unable to ride.
I'll pray for an early spring for you. Hang in there.

Hey Primo,
Get on your insurance company. [:@] They should be cutting you a check and then subrogating with the other insurance company on who pays. This is what you pay your insurance company for... They need to get you back on the road again....
