I was out running errands yesterday and saw a few riders out on their bikes. After tomorrow it looks like we're in for a string of mild weather here in North Central Mass.  :cooldude: Finger's crossed!  :coolsmiley:

I got out for a 70 mile ride on Tuesday February 27th. Went to Carl's Diner in Oxford, MA. It's a real greasy spoon and the portions were huge. It felt good to get out. By the end of March, we'll be riding on a regular basis. Can't wait!  :cooldude:

Some of y'all must be out riding today. Here on the coast it's mid 55 in the sun and 49 in the shade..

I was going to go for a ride yesterday, but ended up taking my wife to the emergency room. She's okay, just a case of severe dehydration, but we were there for hours and didn't get home until 5.  :'(

Wow! Glad she's OK. Most of us could be drinking more water, me included. My wife keeps telling me that and she's right.  ;)

So True Tony, I can't drink 8 glasses of water in 24 hours, but no trouble drinking 24 beers in 8 hours.

Glad to hear she is ok...Riding can wait for another day.

Thanks everyone she is doing fine.  :cooldude: I was really worried it was something more serious, that's why I took her to the emergency room. At our age you can't be too careful.  :)

With all the potential rain...I am not sure how fun it will be riding the Valk back over the yard to her home.

Anyone ever tried jet skiing with a Valkyrie in mud?

Maybe cut sheets of plywood into 1ft. strips and lay them end to end across your lawn...
You will need to ride a straight line to stay on them..

That is indeed the thought. Last season was the same mud-jet-ski rip the yard up mess.

If this rain persists, you may need a raft and come-along.... :crazy2:
