DZLDR,

I feel you pain buddy. We had a cold front come thru today and it only made it up to 76 degrees. Man, I had to wear a sweatshirt for the ride home from work. :-)

That's why I moved to Raleigh.... winters I can ride through, and summers I can stand....
if it gets below freezing, it'll be in the 70's within a day.... rarely hits 100 during the summer.... oh yeah, and we got the beach to one side, mountains to the other

Thinking about painting the snowblower black, adding a better breather and doing something with the wheels. It's not the street glide but it's got two wheels and the only thing I'll be riding for a few months.
