I thought about taking a ride today, but the roads around here are covered in salt. It's windy enough that clouds of fine salt are blowing of the road. So the Valkyrie stayed in the garage.

I took both cars to the car wash today and by the time I got home, both had some salt on them. Especially on the CR-V hatch. But they still look better than before. Having the cars cleaner made me feel good.

Instead of riding today, I guess I'll take a look at the latest issue of Rider magazine. It will have to do.

 Cool

I'm guessing since it's January, you rode a desk chair all day. Sorry Buddy.

Looking forward to seeing you and Laura in Portland in three weeks.  cooldude

Looking forward to seeing you and Laurel in three weeks in Portland! Sherry and I are riding up with B&B. Should be fun with Bernie behind the wheel.   ???

Your "vroom vroom" was a lot closer than my riding experience Tony....   Cool
Good luck with the 'Bernie behind the wheel' thing ..  !!!
See ya in 3 weeks ... looking forward to it !!!

That was a thought of mine more than once. Walked by a few times thinking soon,,, then the sun was about gone. Sad Maybe if I didn't have so much STUFF  uglystupid2 to move along with the plow in the way, I might have been prompted to roll it out and get rid of the flat spots for 20 minutes or so. All I did was swap the charger to the wing. Did see several go by as I played in the wood pile  Sad

Does putting a fan on the opposite side of the Bathroom so you can sit, read Motorcycle Magazines and feel air blowing in your face count.....

The warm up, rain, then freeze cycle, has cultivated many, many frost heaves. tickedoff

Axle breakers in the cage and trucks.

Bikes staying in the nice comfy cellar/shop till it rains real good, to wash the salt away, and warms up.

If a had a second bike that was a "beater", I may have gone for a ride. I would have had to wash the Valkyrie. My hoses are put away and the water supply to the outside faucets are turned off. Too much work. I can wait for better conditions.
