Sorry, just got back from God's country, rained too much for me to ride much
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

Man - even the guys in Colorado are still riding. Winter came real early here this year. My bikes have been parked for a month and there is little chance that this much snow is going to melt before spring..... :(

Here as always, everyday. :revv:

Just got back yesterday from a one week vacation so that is the reason you haven't seen many posts from me in that period. :D

December/January is the slowest month for all riding forums as most of the riders come from Northern Hemisphere countries and with the cold weather and snow on the ground are staying warm at home with the holidays.

Gummiente (Mike) wrote me a while ago and mentioned that he wanted to concentrate on riding his Harley thus wouldn't have time to post on forums like he has. Feel free to PM him if you want to chat he is a great guy and we do miss him here.

Always wondered about this. Shouldn't people both miss riding and have more time to post when the season keeps them off two wheels?

We've been freakishly warm this year, with no snow to top it off. When's the last time you heard of a wildfire burning in December? Because we've got one.

Sounds like here in 2009. But not this year. This is one of the old-school winters that we have not seen for many years :( Rather than fighting it, I am going to adapt by going skiing on Friday :mrgreen:

I am around but my wife's Ford is in the shop, most likely a blown head gasket, and that has put a massive damper on my plans to get on a motorcycle, but I am still reading most days. I pray it is only a blown head gasket.
