I was looking at some videos of riding thinking that it might help in the cold dark days of winter, but it is just aggravating my PMS.  Any other northerner having this issue? |

Yup. Roads are white with salt, so the bikes stay home.

Yeah. I don't like Winter for a lot more reasons than no riding. It's like some kind of sentence to house arrest (without the ankle bracelet). And it's not like I live for grocery shopping, restaurants or blowing snow. Once the belly button lint is gone, there goes another day. (I don't work, for a living) But there's always all you wonderful guys on here.    So there's that. |

This is a novel shot.  When the tracks are shiny, that means trains come down them.  |

It ends just up the tracks a tad, some small food distribution place, trains run at we hours of the morning a couple days in a week.

It made it to 70 yesterday , so I went out for a ride , a woman changed lanes without looking or I was in her blind spot or moving through the blind spot , almost hit me .
Sedona has been over sold as a tourist spot and the traffic has gotten sooo bad , it's down right dangerous !

No PMS, just mechanical listlessness. I tried to fill the itch with working on my baja, but that dang thing isn't playing nice right now. Now I've taken a break from it and started tearing down my 2003 Valk.
I'll start PMSing if I don't get it back together before Spring is in full swing.

of course! we know spring is coming, but it is still at least 1 1/2 months away. and it is supposed to snow more tomarrow. at least there is alittle distraction going to the motorcycle show today. in 2014 i went and thats when i saw the new Valkyrie for the first time, could not wait till i could go test ride one and when i did that 1832 motor had me hooked..... the looks took a while to get used to but the comments from others made it great. most would ask, WHAT IS THAT? and when i say it"s a Honda,they say WOW never saw one like that before. i love it.

Zip Tie a set of bars to your coffee Table in front of your Big Flat Screen and watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCHGSNuqKN4While we were in Croatia/Slovenia last fall I was jealous of all the riders I saw while driving our rental cage. Unending Twisty Roads there BTW...at 6:15 trouble with the Harley Supposed to be about 50° for a few days next week...lots of salt/gravel on the roads around here though. |

This was rougher for u, but man, try living in the Chicagoland reigon....Winter's are way longer and brutal. |

No thanks. I grew up on a MI island until the USAF, and we had Chicago beat (or at least tied) for cold, wind and ice. But it's not like NoVA is similar to FL or even No GA or SC. But I almost never get random bullets passing through my house; so there's that.  |
