Hopefuly it'll be close to 50 tomorrow, so I might get my new air horn installed, and get a ride in... It's been so long, I can't even remember when the last time I got on the bike...

cantankerous (adj. Bad-tempered and argumentative.)

So that's what I have. Learn so much on this forum.

I went for a Fifty plus mile jaunt around town yesterday at 42degree's. I rode some a couple weeks ago too. Everyone I know thinks I'm kwazy for riding in the cold, but I know you all are sympathetic to the cause. They'll have to pry my cold dead hands off the grips before I give in. (-;

I would ride today, 40 here, but the local township spreads ashes and salt all winter long even if it gets cloudy out (gotta spend it to get it theory) The ping damage is not worth it. I do fire it up and ride from the back of the garage to just outside the door to warm it up ever week or two. Just not the same though
