Well, it could use a bit of a brushing off from all the snow I rode through yesterday...

They look so forlorn out there in the shed, big chain and padlock thru the back tires, plastic bags over the pipes to keep the critters out.

Later that afternoon, the first flakes came in off the lake.

One, two, three, four, five months until I can even think about getting mine out again. Bummer. I hate living in Chicago.
hope youre' ok!
im in naperville too and the winter suck!

I took my Bonneville out yesterday. It felt good, first ride since 12/29. Thought about riding to work today, but chickened out and now I'm glad - there was an impressive amount of salt and brine on the road up Princeton way.
