It might hit 40 tomorrow here. If we would just get some rain to wash the salt away I'd be set!

I have to go visit my dad this Wednesday (300 mile round trip) and I'd like to take the new scoot.

Sweeeeet! Glad that you were able to take advantage of it. We have had temps in the 40s and 50s here over the last couple of days but I had about 14" of snow and ice I'm waiting for to melt off. It will stay warm for a few more days but I think that we are going to have rain and cooler temps for a few days after that.

The wife and I try to ride every month. The coldest I had to deal with was 27deg.Today was about 60 deg. For February I'll take it. Gotta wash the bike tomorrow but it was worth it.

I rode yesterday and very little today. Wife and son took out and put a little over 150 miles on this afternoon. They both were laughing and feeling good when they got in, said the only thing missing was me and then it would have been a perfect day. Wife even commented tonight while cleaning hers up that no bugs to clean off the windshield.
