    Re: anyone riding out there?

    My bike's been on standby all winter, ready to go at a moment's notice (except for when the battery was too weak to fire). So far I've been able to get out for at least an hour at least once a month.

    Re: anyone riding out there?

    My bike is in the shed, which is in my yard, which is basically a huge piece of ice. Then there's my driveway which is also a huge piece of ice....

    So no riding for me...

    It's not a few feet, the shed is pretty far back in our yard, and it's glare ice. Not worth the hassle for one day of riding.

    What'd ya have to do at the registry?


    If it was just a renewal, I renew my reg online. Takes all of 10 minutes. Just print the confirmation email, bring that with ya & you're good to go.

    Was out for an hour and a 1/2 today. Got home, gave the bike a much needed bath and tucked her back in the garage. Back to sleep moty-cycle...back to sleep...

    Re: anyone riding out there?

    I've got about 1,000 miles in since the first of the year. Mostly daily commuting to work, a few longer rides here and there. Not enough free time during the daylight hours, it seems, and night rides are a bit too chilly for me.

    Re: anyone riding out there?

    I was out on the bike most of the day to day.

    Ran some errands, stopped into work for an hour, rode up to Argo for a chain guard, took the long way home.....prolly logged 100 or so miles......didn't even really need my Gerbing's until after 3pm.

    My FZ is a salty mess! Gonna wash it up real nice tomorrow...

    Re: anyone riding out there?

    Might try to get out today. Last year really spoiled me, great warm weather riding every week till January and then at least a handful of times thru March. I usually get to ride at least once a month, but this winter has been pretty stingy. Nothing in December, and only a short, unsatisfying ride in January (way too much black ice on the side roads). Cold doesnt bother me, but I need to trust in at least cold tire traction. If the surface is dodgy, I struggle to enjoy the ride at all.

    I did see a yellow CBR600F4 riding thru Manchester yesterday (with a pillion no less).

    Spring can't get here soon enough.

    Nick & I took our wiminz out for a little spin today. Found another sweet road to add to the collection.
