Ride anyway, enjoy it and the calm before all the idiot squids and FAGs ruin it for the rest of the year.

40 degrees today, took a "me" day and rode over to see some friends.

So relaxing!

Woke up to more snow this morning. So at least my arms, wrists will be in great shape for the riding season from shoveling all this snow. Can't wait to get back out there.

Looks like we are going to get another 6 to 10 inches of the white shit tomorrow. Cabin fever? YUP.

I just sent my R in for new tires, exhaust, ecm upgrade, levers, and grips. Can't wait to see what that bad boy does this spring!

40 degrees is my desired temperature but I will make exceptions as long as ice doesn't exist on the road. That's why I have Under Armour.

Well, I guess one advantage to winter is I get things done to the bikes. Just finished installing the 8 pot brake caliper on my 05 XB9SX and bled the rear caliper. Guess I'll do the 1125R's brakes (bleeding) now.

Yeah we got about six inches of winter wonder at my place(N.E. Ohio) this morning...looks like the warm stuff a week ago was just a teaser. But if you plan right you can still have fun. I had the opportunity to dive my Thunderbird Turbo Coupe into 3+" of snow and slush at 60 MPH and practice my reverse lock techniques to get her back on the straight and narrow. Nothing entertains like a front engine, rear wheel drive car with dedicated snow tires in this weather!

Told my wife that my next station if it's not Germany (just because you don't get the opportunity to often to be stationed here) will be FL. I'm sick of snow. She isn't keen on the idea of FL for some reason...

She's probably been there in the summer.

I don't hate you, I've only done like 200 miles in the last two weeks here in upstate NY though. I snowed on me again on my way home from work last night. But I at least got to see how my new suit does in the snow, now I just need a heavy rain to see how waterproof it really is. : )
