No snow up here in NH, got in 75 miles today. I'm glad I don't live down south.

Ya - Just when I think it is going to stop we get hit again. 18* right now and it has been snowing on and off all day. My wife keeps talking about our trip we have planed this year, that is the only thing that is keeping me going right now.

No, not much snow here this year too. Plenty of sand & salt though. Winter would be slightly more tolerable if I at least had a garage to do the "winter mods".
A good friend of mine moved to southern Virginia last fall and he's had worse weather this winter than if he'd stayed here in mAss.

We're all feeling the pain of these long winters without riding. Where's Al Gore when you need him. Probably hiding in some snowbank in D.C.

Me I'm surfing the net looking at parts & planning the FL trip in July.
My work usually has a shutdown in April,but this year they decided
it would be in July.That just seemed to make the winter seem longer.

It's been a tough winter down here as well. However, I have managed to get the wheels rolling a bit most every week or so,......... and that ain't too bad!

Yeah this has been a long one. Probably all my fault for buying a new bike is August. Hell if I had bought a snowblower instead it would be sunny and 70 all winter. Go figure...

I feel your pain. I trailered my bike up to Painesville Ohio at the end of January to have a H-Q 107 st kit installed with some other upgrades. I left my home in Pittsburgh, PA on 1-3-10 to head up to Vancouver, BC to work the Winter Olympics. I don't get Home until March 7th.

Guy Dalton called yesterday to inform me that he had fired it for the first time and everything was good to go! I can not wait to ride it!

When I get home I have two weeks off and will be loading it on the trailer and heading for Florida.

Weather sux here in Cleveland too. I swear, since that damn rodent saw his shadow it's snowed just about every day. I have at least 16" of snow cover in my yard right now, and Spring is just too damn far away...

Serenity now, serenity now, serenity now....
