Well, I tempted fate..... Sun was out, temps in the 37-38 degree range.... I call the insurance company and said these fateful words...."I want to re-activate my insurance and take my bike out of winter storage...." She replied "when do you want to make this effective?" I replied "Now!".....so I have a very nice ride into work.....first ride since I put the bike up in November...so I come out of work tonite around 11pm......and it is SNOWING!!! Thankfully, roads were wet and slightly slick and not ICE and SLIPPARY!!! I had a slow, cautious ride home in this wet winter wonderland..... Hope this crap goes away soon, as I think my bike is "out of storage for the season!"!!!!

Thanks for the spelling correction, although I am rather proud of my creativeness!!!

Yep that is him!!! Heard that "Phil" is getting older now and that he might retire. Hmmmmm maybe getting a younger one in will give us shorter winters.

A friend and I were working on my addition this past Saturday here in New England. We were bringing some things in and out through the garage and noticed that for the first time in a while here it was warm out. Warm being a relative term, it was about 40-45 degrees F. Needless to say, we didn't get much work done. We turned on the bikes and hit the buttons. We scrambled around to find gloves, helmets, etc. and took a spin. Wow! Did we have fun!. Even filled my garage with smoke when we got back There's now a little salt and sand on them but it was worth it. Now I can't wait for Spring. Unfortunatley, thy're already talking snow for tonight and again over the weekend so I don't think there will be any more little spins for at least another few weeks We might have to move south next winter.

Happy rinding and be safe.
