Hang in there:coffee: Sunday it's going to be in the mid 50's:ohyea:

In fact I plan on driving my new Spyder back home on Saturday as it is predicted to be up to 44 that day. It's only a 2 1/2 hour drive from the dealer so it should be a nice ride:yes:

RE: Minnesota's current winter/spring

As a former Minnesnowtan (Duluth), I can only say, that I am happy to be living in Alaska. We had a pretty mild winter compared to what you folks have experienced. If the melt keeps up here, I hope to be rydeing within about a week or so. Fingers crossed. :yes::yes:

Here's a perspective on how cold it is/was in Minnesnowta this year (it's ashame we were below freezing for over 4 months) -- set another record we didn't need to do. AND...this winter there were no warm days ever during the duration:

I got my 2013 ST S slightly used (less then 1000 km) a couple weeks ago. Never had a ride yet due to snow and sub zero temps. It is killing me every time I go into the garage and see it there. Worse, is my first ride has to be to the dealer for the first service. I have ordered the back rest for my wife and would like to see it. Spring please come quickly.

Me and my 2013 RTS live in Eagan, MN. I'm totally getting the Spyder out on Sunday. :yes: Then I'll have to sadly put it back since it's going to be back in the upper 30's for the rest of that week.:banghead:

I feel your joy and I feel your pain - LOL! :yes::banghead:

Be careful out there....lots of potholes....even on main roads. Still have a lot of grit on the neighborhood roads in Woodbury....hope they get this stuff cleaned up soon.

And....drivers are NOT used to seeing us out yet, so double caution is needed. I hope to get a few miles on this beauty!! Happy rydin' :yes::yes::yes:

Will do. Plan on pictures when I pick it up. Ride it home and take it out Sunday then take it apart to start the modfest :rolleyes:

Triaxes handle bars, crib clicker, heated gear plug ins, adjustable side vents, heated seat, drivers backrest, trunk liner, CD third brake light, and add cargo net system to the RT622 trailer

Then I will post more pictures.
