 Wow, what a machine ! WOW WHAT A MACHINE !!!
It's supposed to be 70 °F tomorrow, I thought I'd ride the Spyder to work.
I haven't touched it since early December. Just parked it in the garage.
I came home from work and thought I'd better try to start it now, in case I need to put it on a charger, or whatever.
Flicked the throttle a few times, hit the starter and GROWL....It started right up.

Yea, we are suppose to get hit the 60's also tomorrow. Right now it is raining. But on Thursday the temps drop into the 40's. My spyder is still hibernation( due to insurance purposes).
This time of the year people start to boil sap( to make maple syrup). There is plenty of moisture in the ground. We have seen sap lines( maple sugaring) on the trees, in the woods when we have been on the snow mobile trails on our sleds. Yea that time of the year.

Supposed to be in the 60's here tomorrow - but there's lots of water (melting snow) on the roads in addition to salt. I'd love to go for a ryde, but my brain tells me not to do it (yet).

Yep, the weather was FINE yesterday in New England!
I took the Spyder out for a short drive while the weather was 65 in MA. It's the first time riding since putting on my new sway bar and LEDs. I cannot wait for Spring!!!

Rode to work yesterday and today. It just starts my day off right to be in the air and outdoors. I have a 17 mile commute, the first 12 of it on a small (fortunately, paved) road that goes through the Jefferson National Forest.
I may get wet this afternoon, as the forecast is "chance of showers," but it was worth it!

Seventy degrees in Danbury tomorrow??!! Blast, I wish it was 70 in San Antonio - and dry. I think it's been raining for 40 days and 40 nights in my neighborhood. Thinking of building an ark.

I've only rydden around 1,500 or 1,600 myles this year so far, partly because of being parked 13 days for a lil vacation on a big white motorboat, and also just staying indoors because of some rather poopy weather... 
Uh-oh! Did I just sound like that old, old song, "Rub it in, rub it in"? Didn't mean to! (Did too! Did not! Did too! Did not!)

Mine has been in the garage on the battery tender since October. Unhooked the tender, turned the key, waited for it to boot up, pressed the start button, and VROOM!! Did a short 50 mile ride, but boy did it feel good.

Hopefully most of that 85 was GOING to the store, or that milk might be just a leetle bit warm when you got it home.

Yup, I considered that. Only 17 miles straight back home with the milk. 20-25 minutes.
