Default Ready for spring yet????

For those who live were winter hits with a vengeance, this has been one for the record books so far. It seams I am ready for spring earlier every year. Here it is the end of December and I am already eager to get out and ride on an already planned spring break out ride.. Where are you planning to go on your spring break out ride...

I hear ya' Road Hawg! Me and some buds are planning our yearly trip. They seem to be leaning towards Myrtle Beach in May. I am trying to figure out another plan with all the BS I hear about that towns attitude about riders coming in. Any suggestions for a great east coast 7-9 day outing is much appreciated. Ride Safe and keep the faith as spring WILL eventually be here. Thats what I keep telling myself anyway. Sometimes I wish I could keep the bike out all year and put the OL in the garage til spring!

I used to enjoy winter when I had snowmobiles. Got rid of them, to dam expensive when you have to tailer them 6 hours. I'm not planning any spring trip but sure do wish winter was over so I could get out and ride

7 of us are going to get together in the second week of January and plan the June ride from here in Kansas to Nebraska (not much of it), South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and finally back into Kansas. I am ready to go NOW.

The Older I get the more I really don't like winter...

We don't have any snow in Oklahoma as yet but I am just waiting until the night time temps stay above 45 deg and I am good to go.

I'm trying think about riding alittle less or I'll end up wishing half my life away waiting for warmer weather and salt free roads.
