    I cannot wait to be retired and leave here when it gets cold. Below zero air temps and -20 to -25 below wind chill next few days.

    Maddog and I Rode to the Toy Run this morning was 18F when I left the house and felt like the Pillsbury Dough Boy the way I dressed. It warmed up to 25 but man was it cold. Then Maddog had found a new restaurant so after the run we went over to a new place called the Fenders. Pretty nice place and the food is good. Several bikers came in while we were there including a group of Mongols.

    Funny, the Mongols parked in another business parking lot and were asked to move their bikes or get towed so the whole bunch had to go out and move their bikes. They stayed in the back room. The new restaurant was really a cool place and food was good. Lots of old bikes, like old Honda's, Kawi and some other bikes. Lots of old gas tanks and bike fenders.

    Old bikes, fenders & tanks are cool, no matter what brand. Interesting to hear the Mongols behaved themselves LOL.

    Yea but you got all them low crawling things year around, like snakes, big ars spiders, gators, and then all those biting flying things.
    Besides you can't beat this beautiful country we live in.
    Come spring, summer and fall we will be back into the good riding weather.

    That kind of scenery can cost you way more money. I know in the summer months you all get confined to your AC homes.
