Default What are you doing???

You're probably not riding. I just saw the weather report on the news. 100% of canada and 48% of the USA is snow covered. So I don't imagine many folks were on the scoots today.

I'm so bored. I don't even start the bike anymore, it's been 30 degrees below zero, not good for it to start it, rev it and shut it down. I was doing that for a while.

I bought accent lights but can't even put those on, way too cold outside. I'm planning to decorate it with blue lights and show it off to the family on christmas day.

It's going to be a long winter. ~sigh~

I rode today

Snowed here in Houston last week and still rode in it. I feel sorry for you guys up north. I couldn't imagine having to make payments on my bike and not be able to ride it every day.

I only made one payment for mine, but it does suck seeing it sit in the garage all by itself patiently waiting for snow to melt. I go out at least once a week and pull her top down, I mean cover off, talk to her and spray some Harley gloss on her to wipe the dust away. Damn, you guys are pulling me down. I hate winter!

No problem here is central California. 39 degrees, the wife and I jumped on the Ultra and made a trip to Baskin-Robbins and picked up a 1/2 gal. of ice cream to take home. I love California. Tomorrow and Thursday will be in the high 40's, I'll be riding my bike to work.
