Winter has arrived.
« on: November 30, 2006, 06:51:00 AM »
Well I guess I will have to get leather gear out and find snow chains for the X. Snowing up here and cold as hell. I bet I could freak some people out riding bike to work. O0

What I do today is very important because
I traded a day of my life for it.

Whatever you want to do, do it now.

I walked in the office at 12:50 pm and it was 75 degrees out. Just went back out at 1:00 to get something out of my truck and it's 55 degrees.

That's a 20 degree drop in ten minutes. But still good riding weather!  O0

Think I'll wait till Saturday around noon though.  ;D

Went to bed last night, It was getting way cold. This morning, I was driving through 3ft snow drifts on the way to work. The bike has a flat back tire, and I'm not missing a thing. Bought my old 750 Shadow and rode it home in such a storm. Never again, I know, never say never, A bike that I would do that for now, I wouldnt ride in that kind of weather anyway.
