    This place has been really quiet lately.

    Anyone doing a Polar Bear Ride. HRK if he does one on Jan 1 will probably wear shorts.

    Going to meet up with several guys. Going to be about 28F with a windchill of 21F but get up to 39F in the afternoon. Think I might need a shot of Jack before I leave and when I get back.

    Da penguins don't wear their habits anymore. Plainclothes penguins. Especially dangerous to bad boys.

    Going to be 23F now on Thursday in the morning, but clear. I think an all electric heated gear will be the order of the day plus heated grips and heated seat will be on HOT. But gotta be back in time to watch the Rose Bowl.

    As long is the road surface is good they make great cold weather gear. Got my wife a heated vest and it keeps her wicked toasty,she appreciates that.

    Been wondering about you. Thought you had knee surgery or are you headed there. Anyway take care and heal and hope your hands and wrists aren't to bad. The riding season is coming and days are getting longer now.

    Used to know of a couple once that lived in New Hampshire and stored their Harley's in the living room during the winter. You guys get way to much snow for me.
