Saturday I waited till the salt melted the ice in the intersection just past my house and then went out for a ride

Thats the only stretch of road around with salt and since the road does curve there better safe than sliding

No pics but my wife did just get one of those thin video camera from kodak and it has the universal hole
in the bottom so I will be taking videos real soon

Since its her work camera for taking short videos she puts on her blog and online I
asked  her if I could take it on my trip in June so I hope to have lots of awesome footage for all of you the second week of july  She said sure that way she could feel like she was there

Stopped by the Gman's house but he was watchin Eric so no riding for him   Undecided

Maybe he will be ready to ride again in April or May

Temps were around 30 so it was a great sunny calm day to be zoomin around.  Was worried about ice past the dam so I went different roads today that i hadnt been on in awhile almost to Connecticut and northeast   Was home by 3pm  dont like sunglare

Hope you folks up north are gettin a few miles in where you can, its only gonna get colder soon

No pics this time like I said but I sure did enjoy the one's Joe took this weekend so y'all can pretend thats how it looks here too

Oss, you are a tougher guy than me.  I put my bike away when the temp nears freezing.  Too freakin cold for me.

If global warming is happening...why is it so cold up here?

heated grips on the police bike, I forgot to put the sheepskin on the seat so the nether
reaches did get chilly, but the wind protection is top notch, better than even the interstate
with air wings

Usually I just wear the mesh jacket with my killamanjaro liner or the joe rocket polyfleece liner

If I am on the Valk I will hook up the tour master heated gloves, maybe one day I will get the liner and troller for the liner, the gloves have a built in controller. looks like dick tracy's kind of control if you are old enough to remember the watch he wore it has 2 buttons and lights so you can see the setting

When it gets under 20 I will put a balacava under the helmet

Not tough, just stubborn, I want to ride so I ride  I dont ride fast on roads that may have ice or sand

only fast on the parkways

I wanted to ride today cause the sun was out and looked so nice while I was driving the truck to make a pick up. Stuck my hand out the window at 50mph to see how cold. NO WAY today
