I feel for you guys. We had a bad January but for most of this month temps have been in the 60s.

Well, you could always move to someplace where is isn't cold and it doesn't snow. That's what some of us did.

We had 18" of snow between noon Sunday and last evening. I am ready for spring but it seems far, far away. My wife says that I have male PMS. (parked motorcycle syndrome)

We had a decent weekend with alot of bikes out and about. Of course mine is up on my "Patent Pending KawaNOW Limited Edition Idaho Jack Adapter" so I didn't go anywhere. And now we have another "Snow Event" supposed to hit tomorrow. :-[

Gibby,

That is one sweet looking Drifter you have there. Still riding it?

Hey Elvis, thanks for the compliment on my "new to me " Drifter. I just purchased it a few weeks ago. It is a 2003 with 10,000 miles on it. I put the RoadHouse exhaust and the chrome hiway bar on it the first few days that I had it. I also did a lot of cleaning and polishing too. The only place that I have ridden it is around the shop where I work. I am very anxious to get her out on the road. I now have a 1978 Honda GoldWing that is mint, the 2003 Nomad and the 2003 Drifter.
My wife hardly speaks to me anymore, but maybe that isn't such a bad thing :-)

Of course then you would have to put up with scorpions in your house, 115 degree summers, hurricanes,tornado's,poisonous snakes, black widow spiders, the list goes on. ;)
Winter isn't so bad.

Not being able to ride 6 months of the year has its advantages. Bikes last a lot longer !!!
