Winter blues.........

How do YOU deal with it? Me? I've got the bike parked in the dining room, and I go sit on it.....But, it's just not the same. Michigan sucks....

Every time I walk past the bike in the garage I hear a quiet whimpering sound. I cannot tell if it's the bike or me. I'm not sure I want to know who is doing it either...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I used to just sit there in the dark, sulking and drining beer. But this winter I've found a new way to deal with the snow...

I'm not completely positive, but I think Gummi just offered to buy me a Ural...

That's the way to get around it! Is that the dual rear drive bike?

My bike is sitting outside under the cover with the battery on trickle in the basement. I'm hoping of a day over freezing soon to get her out for a stretch. That is how I manage through the winter is wait for the days over 32F.

Mine is the 1WD Tourist model. The Patrol and Gear-Up are the only 2WD models; I had considered getting the Gear-Up but figured for the actual amount of time I'd end up using the 2WD it wouldn't be worth the extra expense.

So then you're offering to let me use yours whenever I want...
