    The rain is moving this way it is supposed to rain here for the next few days. There are flood warnings west of me with all the rain coming it won't soak into the frozen ground.

    I got my first ride on Saturday. It was 65, no wind, not a cloud in sight. Felt great !! Unfortunately, today was colder, rainy and extremely windy, so hoping for good weather next weekend!

    Thats the thing with chainsaws, they don't seem to care whether its cutting a tree or your leg. Hope you're better soon!

    Holy crap man that looks like it hurts bad, scary. Hope it heals well and fast and don't push it to fast as you could create more damage then be down longer.

    Not being able to ride because of weather isn,t the worst thing that could happen to a person after looking at that. It sucks not to be able to ride due to weather but it would really really suck to not be able to ride due to an injury when the weather is nice.
