50+ degrees for the next two weeks!!

I might go get the bike out of storage tomorrow! Still some snow on the ground, and salt/sand on the roads so I might wait another week before I hit road. I need to clean the winter grunge off, change the oil, new front tire and what ever else I can think of. :-)

The weathers looking good here too in Southern Ontario. Need some rain before I will venture out though. They were salting the roads yesterday.

Monday here in Michigan looks like thunderstorms that will finally wash off the massive amount of salt spread far and wide, with Tuesday and Wednesday being sunny and high 60's, low 70's so I'm hoping I can do my break-in drills and first oil change on the new Vaquero...

67 deg out today here in wyoming and I have spent the morning on the bike. Nice to ride without the winter gear on. Two wheels down stay safe.

We are supposed to have a warm week starting tomorrow, but today is colder than hell here.

Warm temps next week here also, we will need quite a few days of that and some rain to clear up the snow, sand and salt.

Unless we have a real warm up, I'm stuck in the shed for
several more weeks. When you get out there be careful!

The snow is gone around here, a good rain to wash away the salt would be a bonus. I'm sure there will be a few bikes coming out this week around here.

It's going to be in the 70's all week
I am sick of looking at my bike sitting on a stand
I'm going to get my faring ruffed in with all the dimensions right and take it off the bike so I can go ride. I will build a stand to mount the faring on and finish it that way. It will take at least another month to finish it and have it ready for paint

Here in the Twin Cities it will be 63 and sunny today with the rest of the week around 70 and sunny everyday thru Sunday, maybe longer. This is unbelievable, riding without the cold weather gear in March

Don't forget the sunscreen guys, that pasty white skin will probably burn pretty fast!

We are expecting a couple of nights with lows in the 50*'s . . . Does that count for a "Burrr"?

When it is 115 degrees this summer in Phoenix we will be sure to mention the 80's we are having here in the Great White North

Go ahead, I'll still be riding. Maybe you'll have a tan by then.
