I went on the 1st ride of the year the Monday before the last snow storm and damn near every body busted my balls about the cold and salt. The past few days have been somewhat warmer and I have seen a lot of bikes out running through salt and runoff and potholes, I plan to wait a little bit more for the salt and sand from this last storm to wash away before I venture back out. So lets hear it ,are out riding yet or are you waiting? ---

Get your helmets ready, RocketPunch was right, Sunday - 45 and Monday 46 degrees. I just may end up manning up and trying to enjoy the SV during those days, even though the forks/wheel are all sorts of messed up. ---

If I managed to find a battery, I will probably go for a ride. Already lubed the chain yesterday. Between all the needed parts I need to put on the bike and the needed new gear I need to get. Looks like I will be eating Campbell’s chicken noodles for a while…:lol ---

Rode to work this morning,The frost on the cars should have told me something,not that I would have listened anyway. I was praying for red lights so the brainfreeze would thaw but it was well worth it. I’ve put about 120 miles on so far buit it looks like rain this weekend.
