I put about 35 miles on yesterday...48 degrees F. What a blast to ride now. I hosed it off after the ride and put it back in hibernation in anticipation of the snow storm that's coming. My buddy was going get his bike out too but the string on his tampon broke... maybe next time. The Ariens is gassed up and ready to rock!
Rode mine 2-3 times this year, including last night, and thought about riding it early today, with just a few slowflakes falling. But since the DOT pre-salted the roads overnight, I decided to keep her inside and wait until the REAL spring comes!
And sorry to hear about your buddy. Several of my friends must shop at the same drugstore.
I'm getting more miles on this winter than I did all summer. Been ridng several days a week. Here in northern MI we are usually waist to chest high in snow, and riding like crazy on the snowmobiles. So far this year, I think we've got less than 2 inches total, and the weather reminds me of Spring. RIDE ON!
