    This is especially for you JB :D

    Today it reached up to 60 F here and after polishing up both bikes I through a leg over the Springer and took it out for a ride. Man, the air was so nice, broken clouds with blue sky and sunshine. Man, it was just great today.
    Were both getting on our bikes tomorrow and heading out. :D

    By the way JB, warmer sunny days are headed here all next week. :D:D:D

    Sure glad I don't live were your at and can't ride. :)

    Been up to Vancouver WA a few times and up the Gorge as far as White Salmon. My wife has a lot of fam up that way. Haven't been on the bike up there, but it looks to be prime riding territory.

    JB - you and I need to ride out that way and take all the sub -zero weather with us and trade it off for some of FLHT's weather. Heck I can't even walk out and hug my ride until the shop calls to let me know it's time to bring it home. That sucks and so does this sub zero weather were having - hasn't been above 30 degrees for a month now. :banghead:

    It warmed up nice today 19 degrees, took the 4 -wheeler to a nearby lake for their annual ice fishing contest. Still was not as nice as throwing a leg over the ultra though. Warm weather cannot come soon enough.:gah:

    I replaced the rubber boot between the carb and the manifold and boy it ran really good. :D Had a tear in the other one. Amazing how much of a difference a air leak makes.
