rub it in some more :P Good thing about these late winter snows is they don't stick around for very long and spring is on it's way!!!!! Keep riding for me until then! ;) ;D

OK .... yes it rains ALL the time here (40 inches a year), but it only dumps about 8 inches of snow a year and it melts before noon ;D, so don the rain gear and ride.


chief

Yeah "only" rains... constantly!! <LOL>

I feel you you guys and all that snow. I for one fired mine up and rode to work today. It only rains in the Pacific Northwest. Plan on riding all four days of work. 90% chance for rain, 20mph winds. It's far better than that white stuff. ;D


pcarrell

We got 7 1/2 on top of the 8 we had from the storm last Friday.  Oh, and I know where your 35mph winds ended up!


annieoakley

Hey that looks like my front yard too!!!!!!!!!!!! I think we missed the BIG snow they were predicting and we never got the major winds they were expecting. Which is a good thing. The snow is like potato flakes! You could probably use a leaf blower to clean the drive, that's how powdery it is. We ended up with about 6-7 inches so not too bad.

It's a very nasty night in Indiana......

Spring is coming tho; patience patience. ( I have to keep telling myself that) :D :)

Amen Brutah! I have to keep telling myself that too... worst is, I bought the Drifter after it had snowed, so she's sitting in the guys garage, 40 mins away... I can't even go out and sit on her if I want.  :'(

However, I can pull out the title & keys and smile.  :D

Not too bad this week, been around 8 degrees all week, blew a heater hose on the snowplow (curses) fixed and ready for more snow(more curses) I would rather be working on or riding my Drifter! Spring is coming tho; patience patience. ( I have to keep telling myself that) :D :)

No Snow here in the Northwest, there was no rain today either. I gave the old girl a bath, shined her up...(Man I hate pamper females ;)). Put on my cold weather gear 42 degrees. Then took her to town, it's sooo nice when you get to show your girl off ...isn't it. Can't believe I got to ride her twice in the last three days. My wife couldn't understand why I parked the vette and rode in the cold...but then she doesn't ride. Her loss


chief

We got about 9 inches of show over the weekend... largest accumulation in MANY years in this part of TN. It's a cold one for sure this year... down to 8 the other night... must be "global warming"... <LOL>

Cheers.

OOooooooo........SO JEALOUS :P Still have ice and snow on the streets. But with a little luck it should all be melted by Wed or Thurs. mid 20's to low 30's. That's good enough for me. Mine is running, but still a little rough, but I haven't been able to take him out and open him up yet. I still need to run the rest of the gummout through it. I've been out a couple of times this winter but not very far. Ride a little more for me! I'm starting to see buds forming on some of the maple trees so spring is just around the corner! (think happy thoughts! ;D)


1SG CAV

OK I hooked the black beauty up to the laptop. Played around with the settings and WOW I got her running decent enough for a very good ride. The sun was out the temp was 48 degrees, NO RAIN :) And I was off. Felt good to be back in the saddle with her running allot better, put 30 miles on her today. Now I'm hoping for some more good days. with the next ten days off.


annieoakley

I'll agree. Northern Indiana roads are straight and flat. The southern half of the state isn't too bad. Tennessee is nice too. I love the mountains and winding roads. Soooo many choices so little time ;D


bubbabland

I'll stick to Georgia.  Florida is a nice place to ride to...but I get tired of riding in a straight line and at sea level the entire time.  Give me the North Georgia mountain twisties...with an occasional trip up to the dragon!


annieoakley

Ooooooo... I like the no tax thing!!!!! ;D The feds just took another 10 bucks out of the paycheck...grrrr If I didn't have one still at home I would relocate now. But he wants to finish school here, so I guess I will hold off until he graduates.

#50

yes, it was in the 50's this morning,but that was the low temp,
it will get in the 70's and sunny by noon. :-[

jobs for all, depends on your qualifications.

people, there is no need to live in the cold, unless you choose to, so do not complain about the weather
you already know it's going to be cold where you live EVERY WINTER. ???

Move to FLORIDA, RIDE YOUR drifter ALL YEAR LONG and 'NO STATE income TAX' to file in April either. ;D


annieoakley

Okay I'll bite! Home prices low.........what about decent jobs??? I don't think working at McDonalds in Florida would cut it for me! ;D  ;) You can't buy bling for your bike flippin burgers! lol


edwar355

Don't listen to him...its was 50 something in daytona beach this morning....yeah I still rode but brrr


ski.dive

Another beautiful sunny day in FLORIDA in the 70's.

No pitty for you people that want to live outside of FLORIDA

Quit complaning about the ice and snow and cold temps.

+++ NOBODY is making you live in the cold!!!!

Great deals on home prices in Florida.


annieoakley

What?!?!?! I remember taking the bike out for a stroll through town on Saturday and now I wake up this morning to find everything covered in snow again????? Geezzzz... I just got all of the ice off of the drive 3 days ago >:( Will this never end?


pcarrell

Yeah, we had that nasty ice too!  Very nasty indeed!


annieoakley

Slide??? That's what I was doing this morning while trying to get to work! Ice everywhere :'( Am I ever going to be able to get the bike out of the garage and on the road? I started to pull into a parking space with my truck this morning and I ended up 2 spaces away! good thing nobody else was around it would have been a little messy :o. I'm starting to wish someone in Florida would find me a job so I can move ;D

DAMM COLD TODAY, sunny and a cold 74 degrees in florida today...
AGAIN: why would people live in any other place but florida!!!!

you can ride your motorcycle 365 days a year

It's this kind of talk that won't win you friends most places.  In this case though, you ride a Drifter, so we'll let it slide........this time!
