    usually in mid March is when I get the bug but this year the winter just kept dragging on and on and on and on. Finally we are getting into the high 50's soon it will be really warm out.

    Yeah riding in 40* weather was something that I think that I will avoid if I can, but HR's bike is a priority! "Honey Do" and all of that. :D

    I would be able to if I had the time. I am a full time student at the moment plus work full time. On top of that I don't have my garage heated at the moment so for now I will pay someone to do it. She needs the front tire changed, air cleaner, a new front brake, and we are going through the carbs to get rid of nasty popping. I am not going to attempt the dual carbs. She has a 98 Suzuki Intruder 800. It's a pretty nice bike actually, I like to ride it as well.

    She's a little doll! You say you have more kids? How do you manage the time to have a job, full-time school, a family, and still have time for bikes?

    It is seriously a balancing act at our house. We have the 12 year old that knows everything, the 7 year old that is just too cool for everyone, and the 3 year old that is the doll and she knows that she is the baby, besides the new puppy. All of them look like me, so JB is sooo in trouble.
