It has been soooooo freekin' cold

and soooooo freekin' snowy

and soooooo icy

I haven't had a ride on 'Sinister' since the middle of November.

Worst winter here in SE Indiana since anyone can remember.

I am having serious withdrawl symptoms.

(*plus I've got my first/flu/cold/thingie which ain't helping AT ALL.*)


Enough bitchin' --- how's everybody else doing..?

Only managed to ride the KTM into work once this week. Had to drive the convertible yesterday to give it a run. Relegated to the sunroof in the Beetle today... and back to 39 on Saturday when I have to ride in and get new tires mounted. Sure is crap here this week. ;)


Though I hope you feel better soon.

I took a little ride last Sunday. The temps came up to almost 60, but we're back in a deep freeze again this week. More snow expected Sunday into Monday of next week. :mad:

I hear ya! Have had two short rides since 11/15, it sucks! Normal winters I can get out 1-3 times a month depending on how much salt crap is on the roads.

Hi John,
yes its been a long winter and it aint over yet, more of the nasty stuff coming this weekend.
I rode New Years Day and last Sunday, not my normal winter mileage for sure.
Spring, at least on the calendar is not too far away now.
I too am suffering from PMS, parked motorcycle syndrome.

Give me a shout if you make it to Louisville anytime.

I rode 20m to Kersting's Yamaha yesterday. When the air temp indicator reads : 13-12-then LO; does that mean I need to block the radiator with some cardboard to make the defroster work?

Well, it's been a slow, cold spring. Barely getting up to freezing these days. And to add insult to injury, it snowed last night. So …. well, you know what to do. $$$$$$$ That's all I'm sayin'. R ::007::
