Glad you got some time out Sprock. We got a break in temps and snow too but I only did one crosstown to mom's for a visit. I did get 20 miles in running this week, 5 at a time...talk about winter cobwebs!

After reading the thread title I was greatly relieved to find that the content was motor cycle related.

Good stuff Sprock! Nice pics as always.

Man you are lucky, we hae a law here that prevents us from going on the road before the 15th of march ( winter tires), if we are caught without them we are risking a ticket.


BUT I started the misus today and for the first time in 5 years sarted without have to boost her for the first start of the season, warmed up the engine and she sounded very happy or was it me?

Lucky bum!

Enjoy the ride.

That is just absurd

I uses to ride my bike in the snow when I was going to college in Colorado, it was pretty hairy, but a good time still!

Glad you managed to get a good blast on the bike Mark.

Managed to get out for an hour myself today, nearly froze my chuff off and there's a lot of gravel on the road, so I was tip-toeing around some of the bends. Still, was good to ride though
