    Finally, the time has come to get the Road Glide into the shop and get a few things done. Not a lot needs to be done thankfully, just need to get it sniffed and adjusted is all. A small wiring project and we done. Goodbye snow!

    Good to hear. First day of spring and we should be in the mid 60s today after 3 days of cold, rainy weather.

    No. Moving won't happen for at least 4 years.

    After thinking on this for awhile now, I think that I am going to change out my mirrors on the Glide. Need something different.

    Cool. We're going to have very nice temps today and tomorrow, then next week the weather turns more winter like. Ol' Man Winter is stubbornly hangin' on. But today I ride!

    At least there are a few nice days every now and then. Taking advantage today as it will be the last riding day for me for at least another week. Johnny, when you get your new mirrors installed, post a pic or two :).

    I do have to say that buying the snowmobile took some of the cabin fever away. A good way to get back in the wind some how.

    Heh,been a good year for snowmobiles for sure...trees are a lot closer together than poles though;) They're just like sport bikes on skis now...
    I like watching them fly down the 1/4 in summer time:cool:high 9's low 10's right outta the box,bone stock (except for skate boards instead of skis on front)

    Sounds like fun, but never heard of it before. We're far enough south you never see a snowmobile around here.

    Yep, my madness has started. Just got my new mirrors ordered.

    I am struggling with this decision on if I should wait till it is up to my normal riding ambient temp before I get it sniffed and adjusted. My gut tells me that I should. This way I don't lean out in the hot humid weather.
