Brand new Road King in garage and 6 inches of new snow! Second Storm in a week. Starting to wear on a guy. Have to love South Dakota!

Got 9.5 inches on the other end of the state here in Rapid City.
It's cool though, we do need the moisture so our forests don't burn up.
We really do need all we can get.
it will all be melted by this weekend.
Supposed to be in the 70's.
What I don't like is the aftermath of all the gravel.

I don't think that they're salting anymore at this point.

Congrats on the new ride.

Any mods yet?
Post some pics.

Congrats on the bike. Feel your pain with the snow. More on the way here but 70 by the start of next week. Feels like six months of winter! Ride safe and often.

Well it's all finally melted here, in MI. We just had snow on Sun and when I left the bar Sat night it was covering my windshield.

I'm ready for it to end, and the rain too.

It snowed 15" last Friday here in central mn and now it's snowing as I write this. Another 6-9 tonight. If it stays around till April 27th. We would have had snow for 6 months now. That's why I bought a bike because in the past you could ride your bike at least 8 months. Not anymore.
