Pffffft!!!!!

It's a balmy 13 fahrenheit here in Jersey. Supposed to touch 20 by this afternoon. Our RAT pack is having a meeting this afternoon, I might ride over there, just for one-upmanship, to prove I can!

(....it's only 4 miles away!!!)

Gah, Haven't been on the road in at least two weeks. Was going to turn it on today and let it run for 20 minutes to keep the battery charged up. Lot of snow and slush on the road today.

I did see two bikes on the road yesterday on the way to and back from the Bike Show.

Don't know about your Ninja, but with lots of bikes running at idle actually drains the battery. Suggest you not start it up unless you're actually going to ride it for 8-10 miles or so.

I rode to work today, it was -11C with 5cm of fresh, powdery snow at 6am when I left. My commute is only 27km one way, but I get to travel down unplowed county roads for most of it and it's quite the blast.

This is how my Ural looked at 3:30pm before I fired it up to head for home...

You make me want to get the Can-Am Spyder.... And keep my little 250 and Snowmobile gloves and a large girlfriend to keep my back warm.

Temp hit 80 today. We're in for a cold snap. Shoud be about 55 tomorrow. Tonight will ride to a Southern Cruisers meeting and earlier today had the privilege to stand holding a flag at a Veterans funeral.

God Bless our Troops.
