WOOT!!!

Picked up my Harley from winter storage at the dealer after work today! Had a great ride home - the long way, of course - and racked up 125km. Spring is around the corner for sure now!

That smile on your face speaks volumes, Gummi! I took mine out yesterday for a 3 hour ride, and it was wonderful zipping around those country roads.

Tell me, does the H-D dealership have storage facilities for you to rent. I know you live way up there in the frozen tundra, and I imagine the need for a temperature-controlled facility to store your bike is paramount.

Sure would be nice to live where one can ride year round, would it? :lol:

Yes, that's why I was there yesterday to pick it up. Dropped it off last November and for $240CDN they wash it, put fuel stabiliser in the tank, remove the battery and charge it every month, store it in their climate controlled service area and have the bike polished and ready to go when you arrive to pick it up in the Spring.

Good to have her back home, eh! I got out yesterday for the afternoon. Temp was up to 15 C and the riding was great, except where the water running over the road in a few spots.
The snow is all but gone here now and it shouldn't be much longer before more consistant wx moves in.
