goin' crazy

racinchef · 02-19-2008, 05:02 AM

I am going stircrazy having to wait to ride. The nasty weather just won't let up here in the northeast. Yesterday we got pouring rain on top of ice and snow and now the temps are back below freezing and threaten to go below zero soon overnight. Does anybody have a riding video taken from their bike?

The "cabin fever" has reached near record levels this year among the motorcyling community. The CDC warns that it could become a pandemic if we do not get some relief soon. The symptoms to watch for include irritability, mood swings, and overeating. Temporary relief may be had by going to the garage and looking at your motorcycle for at least ten minutes. If that does not bring relief it may become necessary to open the garage door and actually start the sleeping beast. Usually after 10 minutes or so the symptoms will subside and all returns to normal. However, this drill may need to be repeated on a weekly basis until the roads clear sufficiently and the temperature rises to a point that allows a short ride. Hopefully spring is just around the corner.

Don't forget, writing very big on motorcycle message boards.

Ain't any better in Delaware...and I tried the open garage door, start the beast thing...the temporary relief thing didn't work at all. Just pissed me off enough that I didn't even want to wipe the dust off her.

Ahhhh!!! That did. Reminded me of Camp Brook/Bethel Mountain Road that runs between Vermont routes 12 and 100; very popular with bikers.
