    Help me make it until spring!

    Hey everyone, just signed up and wanted to introduce myself. Like the title says, I am looking for ways (aka, motorcycle-related distractions) to survive the winter. The bike is still operational and waiting patiently in the garage, so if another warm day hits here in southern Maine I will be on the street. In the mean time, looking forward to interacting with everyone, learning/sharing information, and having some fun.

    Nate

    1. Buy dirt bike.
    2. Buy ice tires.
    3. Find someone else to mount them who doesn't know how hard they are to mount.
