    Noooo, I'm talking about my scooter silly. Got out today for a very short ride. It's been months. Proper storage procedures resulted in an instant start and after a brief warmup off to do some errands. Life is getting good again but, snow forecast for Saturday! WTF!!!! We are running 15-20 degrees below normal. Tomorrow will be in the low 60s but rain. Then temp crashes again. I had to hide my knives from me

    It just isn't the same. Tast is different.

    By the way deal on getting the bike out for even a short ride.

    Agree with FLHT on choice of heat, have a fire ring/ truck rim with a grille and the top of a trash can. Let some good wood like hickory and apple burn down part way and cook on that= AWESOME. This is a benny of living in the sticks. Got some snow Sunday and DOT shitz,ed the roads again (heavy sigh) ,looks like a while to a good ride.

    Main thing is the weather is getting warmer overall, and the knee is letting you ride. Sharpen the mower blades if you need to have sharp objects in your hands, 6-8 more weeks, you'll be mowing.

    Great to hear fatboy. Must have felt great after a 4 month hiatus. While the snow here is fast melting and the temps getting warmer the ground is mushy and I live on a dirt road. The ground in front of my garage is a borderline mud bog. If I lived in town,had cement/tar driveway I'd have ridden by now too. Or even if I had a way to rinse the bike off afterwards I'd be riding.
