Spring so far consists of two days where riding was comfortable ... :-((

I'm glad you got a few miles on yours as I know you were tied up with those "fancy" handlebars!! We'll need to get together for a ryde sometime this year! :thumbup:

[Chupaca]

I knew there was a reason we moved to San Diego...being from near the equator this is as close as I can get and still be in the US. Feel for you all, maybe if the goverment (you know where they are) will stop trying to change the weather it will get back to normal or close to normal....:roflblack:

[bullant12]

:cus:ing winter freeze here. It was too cold yesterday to wash the Spyders, and most likely today (although we have dinner plans with an old friend tonight). At least I finally got around to swapping the key barrels on the trailer and saved me a trip to the locksmith or the dealer.:firstplace:

We have had just a few days of rydin' weather when the temp was warm enough......the problem for us, when the temp was OK, the winds were 20-35 MPH :banghead::banghead:....so, even though I enjoyed it, it would have been much better on a calm day!! :gaah:

Best wishes for improved weather -- looks like ours is turning by Monday on next week -- I plan to ryde most of next week if weather cooperates!! :yes::yes::yes::yes:

Your in the area you know where to stay...do most of that myself but have plenty of time to ryde. Were are 15 min from Mexico and 5 min from great ryding...:yikes: Sorry this is not helping. We are really suffering here...:banghead:

[ARCTIC]

If it's gonna be cold we might add well have snow!!!!! We're supposed to get snow Thursday-Friday but not much. 16" of snow would be awesome:yes:

I am looking forward to that :yes: Being that I am still a working stiff I do not have the time to ride as often as I would like. If you are interested I have an "guys only" ride comming up on May 16, 17, and 18 that's always a fun time and you would be welcome to join us. This year's destination is Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin. We have anywhere from 11 to 24 bikes on this ride and has been going on since the 1970's.

Let me know if interested and I will PM you the details.

[scarecrow]

AH YEP! Clearwater Beach Full of Snowbirds. Most of them red as a BEET. They'll be hurting tomorrow.

I will be riding up to Mora this coming Tuesday to have the Rolo Laser alignment done at 10:00 am if you would like to ride-a-long.

Snowed in CT last night.

Brake out the snow mobile and stop complaining you chose to live there. Make the best of what you've got. I had to live there twice for short periods of time. Snow mobile is just as much fun. Do not for get the "Snow Shoe" (half peppermint schnapps and half Christian Brothers brandy). Yahoo!

[ARtraveler]

This winter will surely be known as the winter that wouldn't quit. I am hoping things settle down for Spyderfest.

I rode yesterday (48-50 and light drizzle). Will also go again today. Partly sunny and temps forecast to be about the same.

I am feeling lucky about our current weather.

[capt.jim]

Well at the other end of the spectrum it is in the 80's in S. Fl, only had a couple times where it even got into the 50's for a few days this entire winter. Was going to trim the trees back before hurricane season as soon as they dropped the leaves so I could see where to cut, even that didn't happen. Send some of that cool weather down here please!

That's great! :thumbup::congrats: I took the course a couple of years ago... never too old to learn something:yikes::yikes::shocked::shocked:. Our group was really bimodal in terms of ages. We had the very young folks with some on them on their first lesson rydin' and then there were people in my range where we rode a lot earlier in life and was getting a refresher. There was one guy about my age who took it after his "stroke" and he did a great job -- I admire him for that! :thumbup:

Anyways, get our there and ryde and be sure to stay safe! :2thumbs::2thumbs:

[MMcc]

Spend 6 months during the summer in MN and the other 6 months in So. California. Normally on the way home at this time but the cold and snow kept us here a while longer. Last week we were in the 90's and it continues on. Spyder was loaded on the trailer 2 days ago as this heat made riding no fun. I had replaced the BRP air cleaner and resonator with JT's kit and happy that I did. One long ride last week-end in 90 degree weather and no boiling gas or gas fumes. Just got word that our neighbor in MN had 10 inches of new snow with wind and 28 degrees and it is still coming down. May wait here a few more days. Most snow birds have left the park so it is so quiet. Gas stations and grocery stores have no lines waiting to fill up or check out. Golf course is empty after 10 am except for a few die hards wanting to get in one more round before they leave for the frozen north.

Some double-digit snow totals on this April 16th:
North Branch - 15.1"
Big Lake - 14.5"
Litchfield - 14.0"
Mora - 12.0"...

Sorry to repeat this picture of Lucy, but she sums it up the best!!

All I can say is "wow"......let's move into spring/summer! Be careful with all that snow....we don't have much at all where I live. :yikes:

BTW, my snowblower is cleaned up for the season (yes I waxed it - lol) and changed the oil. IT IS NOT COMING OUT until next winter!! :thumbup:

[flaggerphil]

Hmmm. Fortunately, we haven't had any problem riding all winter so far...

Don't get me wrong; I agree with the sentiment in here about 172% :thumbup:
