    I got to ride to work today.. it was a nice ride in! Short but nice.. its only about 20 miles. I get off in about 50 min from now, so I will be taking the longer way home. If I go the back way in I think I can stretch it out to a 40 mile ride home.. still short but will be fun. C'mon time clock!!

    pulled the baby ceptor out for the first time this year today too, washed and waxed it, fresh oil and checked every thing out. It was in the mid 70's here.

    Also made a stupid mistake today too. Forgot to throw my boots on before I took off and after about 20 minutes drug the left peg and a few toes. I'll remember to get rid of the tennis shoes next time.

    Been riding all winter. But some days are more fun than others. Lately it has been much better with highs near 50. Glad you Northies are able to get the flat spots worked off your tires for a change.

    I got to ride too yesterday. Only two things that sucked about the whole experience. 1. The snow was melting and getting onto all of the corners that I liked, and 2) All the new frost heaves. Otherwise, my Parked Motorcycle Syndrome had a momentary cure.

    hey, it isn't California here or anything. I've been known to ride as low as 14deg F. Put the snowmobile winter clothes on and go.
