Ah, spring in the Midwest...it seems that any time it is warm enough to ride, storms or the threat of them keep me from going too far from home. I just got my VTX1300 so it's tough waiting on the weather.

Temps hovering round freezing here in Southern UK. Never mind! Did about 160 miles on Sunday. Found some nice new roads. But will have to donate hands (frozen remains of) to medical science.

Nevertheless. It is spring!!! Sun is shining (despite the cold). Crocuses are out and roads are waiting to be explored. Happy new year to all emerging bikers. 8)

Commiserations to Buzz and to others who harbour a perverse desire to inhabit colder regions of the earth. I'm sure there is an explanation somewhere. Hmmm???

:D

Temps around 62 yesterday could not wait to get out of work and do a little riding. The Mrs could not wait either. We got in about 40 miles but some rain also drove me back into the garage. Still I got my little fix but can't wait for the spring can you feel me brothers and sistas :P

Ha, it's snowing out there, but not sticking, so I'm gearing up in about 10 minutes... :)

(edit) Wow, that was a short ride. Stupid snow making it hard to see out my visor.

NC has been fickle about the weather.

In Raleigh, it was sunny all last week, then yesterday we had hail. Today rain and under 40...

If there is not ice, I ride (don't own a car anymore), so I am dying for Summer!
