Default The count down has begun

Winter sucks here in Wisconsin - a bad one - lots of snow, artic temps and freaking salt like never before

Last year I got the scoot out on March 13th.

That's only 49 days

Oh man. can't wait.

I feel your pain! That picture could have been taken right here in my neighborhood. I have Daytona to look forward to...only about 5 weeks away...
By the time we get back we will start having those days here and there that are okay to ride.

dchoran, I feel your pain. The only thing that keeps me going is how nice the summers are here in the upper midwest. I think I'd be bitchin about how hot it is if I were full time down south. I'd like to be there now that's for sure.
