Winter blues
It sure does suck this time of year living in Wisconsin. San Fran knocked us out of the playoffs (as expected) and the bike is still in storage. Cool part is 2 more payments and she will be back home. Here we are the middle of January, and it has been an unseasonably cold ***** all winter so far, but, 8 weeks and we will be in the 50s. We put 2 or 3 of those together (50 degree days) and the bike is coming home to papa.
Sure do miss her. The mrs and I are contemplating a mid Feb trip to AZ to rent one for a week and go tear up some desert miles. We were out there last spring for a week and didn't get to spend nearly enough time in Phoenix. I have a friend out there right now who said come on out and he'd take us on some great rides. Get past property taxes and insurances and we may well do that. It's early a.m. and am just setting here missing her badly, and envious of yous who get to ride year round.......
Ride safe...

Yep it's been a colder then normal winter pretty much everywhere.
We, in the Mid-Atlantic still get some weird weather, 60-70's one day and 20s, 30s, and 40s the next.
At least in my neck of the woods, NO snow yet. But we still have to get through March.

It is a great time of year for projects. We don't have the stress of getting it done anytime soon. Although I would prefer the stress of getting things done because the weather is good...

Thought of that.......winter project..... but it's even too cold in the garage to take the bike apart. Supposed to be in the 50's today but there is so much salt on the roads from last weeks storms I don't want to go out.

Every Harley rider in a cold climate must take 2 weeks off in the dead of winter and head for a week or more of riding in a warm, sun drenched area. You got to do it! SJ Ron

Sorry for you guys. Warmer than normal here in Arizona. Not to rub it in, but we decided to rude up to Cave Creek for lunch at the Hideaway on Friday and then spent the night in Scottsdale and The Dirty Dogg Saloon. Rode back yesterday. Nice 380 mile road trip in January.
