Oh man that is a bummer. It has been spring here now for over a week and have been riding most of winter with a couple weeks here and there of not riding. Hope it melts fast for you soon.

68 here today, started tearing the Slomad apart to do maintenance and a few upgrades.

I'm presently in Kailua, Hawaii for the month and it's starting to get a little warm here too.

It might sound odd but it was a bit cool when I arrived and some of my old biker buddies here weren't riding because it was too cold. It seems they had to wear a sweatshirt.

Took it out and had a ride. It was a little cold out but I got it muddy anyways as my driveway is still thawing out and somewhat Muddy.

A few things I have done so far over the winter was repairing and straightening out both fenders then a repaint on them, a Memphis Shades Windshield Installed, True Dual Pipes built by MAC and wrapped in Titanium wrap, installed a Cobra 2000R FI controller & installed a new clutch spring by Barnett. I put a Luggage Rack on the passenger backrest too that came off a newer Nomad bike but I got it to fit good.

Now if it will only get warmer faster and dry out my yard more too.

What driveway? I thought a driveway had gravel or some sort of hard surface?

Spring stopped here for a day or two but it flew back out mother natures A Hole again the last few days.

My 2015 riding season started today. It was a beautiful 45 degree day and I was able to get out for a nice 20 minute ride. Felt like it was 60 after having the sub zero temps that we've had.

Dosen't look like the winter hurt your roads to bad.
We have potholes every where you look here.

**HwyRider** · 03-25-2015, 05:23 PM

We have them too. I just avoid riding on the streets that really bad. The pothole crews have been out dumping tar in to the holes and tamping them. So now instead of potholes we have road humps.

Tim it's going to be like dodging bullets. It's gonna be a few miles of nice road and then potholes then hopefully some more nice road etc. Salt and frost heaves suck.

Ninety (90) degrees here by the end of the week.

**HwyRider** · 03-25-2015, 08:49 PM

58 tomorrow. That will feel like 90.
