I know what you mean. I played with my two bikes yesterday and my wifes rebel 250. My wife is done for the year and so is my cb360 so I started them up and let the engines run for a few minutes and put fuel stabilizer in the tanks and wiped a little lube on everything that was liable to rust and put the covers on them... probably 'til the spring. I'm up in Seattle so I don't get as much freezing as you do so I plan on riding my bike (which I think is the same model as yours... one year older) at least once a week. The cold isn't a problem for me. Rain isn't much fun though and the ice... no way!

I had a nasty run-in with ice once, and all I can say is never again. My bikes been put away for the season to. On the bright side it'll give me time to do some mods to it, a little repainting and with any luck clean up the back end.

The snow finished melting a couple days back and the weather got freakishly warm. It's pouring rain as I type this though. 10 bucks says it freezes overnight... crazy Oregon weather. The bike started right up. I've been letting it run in the garage at least once a week for the past month. It must've wanted to get out as much as I did! Couldn't flip throught the curves like we wanted (that bloody red cinder gravel is everywhere now), but it still made me feel great. Yes, life is good once again.

Oh man I love my bike. If it was a woman i'd marry it.

Trucker saved me. I was flying along 100 or so mph on a straightaway, nobody around, then way up ahead this truck rounded a corner and flipped his lights on. As the distance closed he flashed his lights a couple times. I had a hunch what it was about, so I rapidly decellerated to about 55, waved a thanks to the guy, and sure enough as he passed there was a cop car hugging his tail.
It just made my day. In times when people seem so damn selfish on the roads, this truck driver saves me a massive fine with two little flicks of the fingers.
