Hey everyone

I am just saying that the members on this foum down south don't know how much you are lucky to continue to ride.. here it is snowing almost everyday..at least two foot of snow already arrrgh!!! Can't wait until spring, on the lighter side it gives me time to prepare and repair the old lady!


Have a good day everyone

I've been praying for the amount of snow that you've gotten already

Raining non-stop for the last week - Gawd help us when the sun comes out - it'll be 100F and 90% humidity.
Still, rather that than having to shovel all that white slushy crap off my driveway, and watch for black ice every time I ride.
I'd love to try a snowmobile sometime - but I'd rather ride my bike 365 days a year...............
Not to say I haven't lived above the snow line - I have, up in Lesotho, temps down to -30C. Too many rocks for snowmobiles tho'. Pity you guys but you surely enjoy your summers when they come around, eh ?
Fix the old Lady, Dragon mon fre'r, tout suite ! She needs to be up and running in April..................

Been out skiing twice now. Put lug tires on my new sweetheart, 8HP Ariens snowblower, yesterday. Out in the garage now are my 7,8 & 10 HP machines and 4 bikes. They salted the roads last week so the bikes are in until the first heavy rain in the spring.

Did I mention that the heat has been running........drats!

Didnt realize how luck I am until I met you guys up north. The sun came out after the rain and i went riding in 50 degree F weather today. It was nice.

Got to 19 degrees the other morning, which is very very rare here. Usually about 30 is the coldest. I rode to work that morning and my heated grips werent enough to save my fingers. That was painful!

Anyway, hang in there until spring brother! I know it has to be tough.
