    JB, winter SUCKS:gah: in another two weeks we'll be 70-80 degrees. At least we don't have to spend the summer months locked up inside cause its to hot to go for a ride. Don't know how those Texas boys handle it down there.

    Why does winter suck? You just get up on a snowmobile and go tear it up on one of those..... No need to be locked up in the house... Now rain sucks!!:roflmao:
