Cruise time.
Show up on the bike, have it stored in the hold. Until we get to Nassau then ride.
(I wonder if royal Caribbean will let me ride my drifter on deck before we get to port!)

- January 22, 2013, 09:43:30 AMYea, he is sharing,
rode 80 miles yesterday, at a balmy 36 deg. F. Interstate the whole way at 75mph.
no chaps, (have not bought any, because as big as i was, it would have taken both sides of the cow to make me a set) so my ankles got a little cold.
No boots, (they are too big now, (how do you get fat feet?))
Rode to work this morning, 24deg. F. beautiful spring morning..
Grabbed the wrong gloves, grabbed the Thinsulate medium weight gloves, not my windproof snow machine gloves..
Thanks for sharing Ratman, please send it somewhere else.....

- January 21, 2013, 17:02:09 PMThe only silver lining I can see is the improvement in heat cost over last year. I've been keeping records of oil consumption vs outside temp since we moved in in '08, and I'm saving about $3 day, and the house temp is 72, rather than the 68 I had it set for when we were burning oil. I'll pass that cold air you sent me, Ratman, on to the other guys, when I'm done with it.

- January 21, 2013, 16:35:38 PMI feel realy bad that I can have some others can not, so I am going to be really nice and spread the wealth. I am going to pack up some of this cold and send it to my buddies .....PC and 45 it is coming for both of you.....because I am such a nice person......

- January 21, 2013, 14:09:21 PMYeah, when it gets that cold, the F and C scales merge...in an attempt yo keep each other warm. What I really hate about that is the ice that forms on your beard...'cause it melts when you come in the house. The coldest I remember was one year when I lived up near Eau Claire...the little red line in the outdoor thermometer disappeared!

- January 21, 2013, 13:03:46 PMMr. Troll Sir, FYI we are into our cold snap now and tomorrow the red stuff is dropping to -40* and it will be there for a few days now...and at the it is the same in both F and C , and for those that don't know it means FRIGGIN COLD, the hairs in your nose freeze and you have a hard time breathing.......but so much fun on a sled running acroos the lake...

- January 20, 2013, 18:33:09 PM PC hope you have good weather for more riding, because you deserve it being the nice guy you are.
45 of course you will be a lean mean fighting machine soon and glad you could use your bike as a recovery tool and enjoy it with your spouse.
D1 never be grudge what others have because they just do not understand. Be thankful that they are out riding.......
because like myself and adeyar you too have time to work, reflect on your work and how nice your bike will be once you get out and ride, and enjoy and appriciate what took so long to get to, think of your favorite food.....imagine eating everyday, and loses it place as your favorite, so it is the same with riding, once we get out each and every ride just means that much more to us......think positive......

- January 20, 2013, 18:10:32 PMSupposed to get pretty cold again here. It's really to bad. That's the bad thing about buying a bike in late fall. You get to stare at it more than ride it. But that's okay, cause damn it looks good.
