It still hasn't reached 70 degrees here in 2010.  Coldest winter in over 20 years.

Hanging in the 60's here in Ok. Been riding to work 38-39 degrees but the ride at lunch is good and the ride home is great. Have our first campout and Poker run this weekend  the 12 and 13th of March and I'm crossing the fingers . Could snow a heavy wet snow on Thursday before we leave out but it is suppose melt fast with the temps being in the mid 30's Thursday into the high 50's.  50'snd 60's all weekend, like I said fingers crossed.

Couldn't stand it any longer.  This is the longest I have gone without riding so I just bundled up and rode anyway.  Low 40s on the ride in tonight.  Tomorrow morning on the way home supposed to be low 30s.

 I hear ya. Took a short ride last week to town. Temp jumped to upper 60s. Would have rode longer but I am a hunter first I guess. Spent the morning working, then Pheasant hunted in the afternoon. Got home went for a ride, great day in my book ;)

 Yesterday morning was in the 40's on the way to work(36 miles). Not sure of Temps coming home, but would guess upper 50s heavy clouds. This morning suppose to be low 40's, then getting to mid 60's with no clouds ;) May have to take the long way home ;D

Been nice here all week. Yesterday had a good 200 mile run to the southeast and took a break at one of our many "attitude adjustment stops". ;)

If you look  close you can see the O.L. peeking outta the window of the cabin....look a little closer and you can still see remnants of this years snow and the excess sand the local road crews used on all the roads around here. We still need a few good rains to clear it off.

Well it don't matter if it's 70 or -30 due to being a retard on my 4 wheeler pulling harrow around pasture this is what I ended up with! Doc says no weight for month then limited probably 8 to 10 weeks before I get to play. Then hope I don't need to put all weight on fight ankle trying to keep bike from going over.

The worse part of being broke down is the mental part! Don't know how I'm going to make it when I get depressed I need to get on Harley and ride nowhere special just ride! When I return from said rides all is right again some of you will know what I'm talking about. So what to do? GOD give my wife the strength to get through this. Have fun riding guys I will have allot of catching up to do! ;D

Hang in there Hog'...... You'll be back.  Know what you mean about going out on the bike to get the bubble back in the middle. Having to park them over the winter only makes the cabin fever worse.
   Been gone for a while, as the computer scattered, and we had to get a new tower, and of course start from scratch with setting it up and re learning it.  The "brains" said they could just tranfer everything off of the old one ....... yeah right.
   Man, we missed you guys.
   Have a good one all;
                                                           Respect;
