Yeah, It's WI and I know the snow is still covering the ground, but I am dying to go for a ride. This week I started planning a 4 day ride around lake Michigan and today I watched Biker Boys. Yeah it's a super cheesy movie, but till today I never noticed that there is actually a Buell X1 in the final scene. It's in the line of bikes the Soul Brothers are riding. A red with white race striped model. Now I really got the bug to do something to my bike. I should start with fixing my stick rear brake I guess....

Quit bitching and ride! Sell your car if you have too. Snow hasn't even slowed me down in NY, I have ridden to work every day so far this year. : )

Ken, I totally know how you feel. My folks live in Mackville and I live about 3 hours straight west of you. My new Uly is sitting in the garage, never having been started in my presence. To say I want to ride is an understatement. The wife and I are planning to ride around Superior this summer (August, most likely).

Have fun Dave, hopefully that thing handles better than it looks. How would it be to ride a motorized Sea Manatee I wonder?





It's still cold here too, and I've been trying to get my heated grips and hand guards on for a week, 5 min here and 10 there just isn't cutting it!

would you guys like some cheese with your whine?

At least ya'll are in the same country as ya'lls bikes.

If i was there I would just go get me some warmer cloths and keep on riding.

Yesterday, the temps got up into the high 30s, maybe low 40s. I went out for a couple of hours just cruising the backroads. It felt good.
Today, the weather's supposed to be the same. It's 32° now, so I'll be taking the bike to work.
For tomorrow, they're predicting 6 - 10 Inches of snow.

I came in to work today and found that the motorcycle parking area is back. I have been going round with the facilities manager. He had it removed while I was still riding to work. It is snowing out now.
