Warm Weather ! Let's Ride !

A reminder to my Northern Brothers to check the bike before setting out:
T-CLOCS

Careful on right turns, all the road grit will build up at the edges and the right portion of the right lane will have slippy grit build up.
( we also have this in PHX during our summer monsoon season- sand)

Not a bad idea to practice in a parking lot, panic stops, counter steering swerves etc.
remember where all the controls are...

Some of you Guys have a little warmth headed your way.

Good tips, but what warm weather? They're predicting up to 7 inches of snow tomorrow in northern Illinois. I haven't seen my bikes since last October.

Almost 60° today at work, thought I would go home and look at pics of my bike as it's still in storage

. Tomorrow, 7" to 12" of snow predicted with lows in the single digits.

It was 70 yesterday and today it's in the low 30's with snow showers. I can't wait to retire, so I can move to Arizona...

Nice thought and appreciate the reminder but.......there is one or two feet of snow coming this way starting late tonight. However I will take everything you outlined in to account if and when this winter ever ends.
