    Default A serious (as serious as I can be anyway) affliction

    I know we all have a little touch of the "Spring Fever"

    What are you doing to deal with it?

    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    I'm shoveling snow. If you are cold enough, and working hard enough, you don't think about Spring...and when you go into the house and collapse after you are done, all you can do is dream about it.

    Catch the FLU and keep it until May. It makes you forget about everything else.

    Spring Fever is killing me. I hate to wish my life away, but I am ready to ride. The way this winter in looking I wont be out and about until April 1. Winter has been long and cold this year. Going to have to take up ice fishing again !!! Trying to talk my wife into going to Spyderfest 2013. 20 hour drive from up here, but sounds like a good time. Thankful for websites like this.

    Watched SNOWTRAX yesterday afternoon on great snowmobiling places in Canada. Don't know where you are located in Canada although snowmobiling seems like a good winter replacement for the temporary SPYDER BLUES!

    Cool Apology In Order?

    Gee Guys, you are making me feel guilty.NOT!! It was in the high 40's this morning (BRRR) but its in the mid 70's now (AHH). Sorry, I've got to go. There's a Spyder in the garage that wants to go to the beach. Oh yeah, I've lived on the coast of Florida over 55 years and have survived unscathed from many hurricanes. Lived about 10 years when I was young in the mid west and lost two homes to tornados. Go figure.

    My cure for spring fever is to visit SL often.

    The signs of spring are coming though. We only had an inch of snow last night. The temps are in the mid twenties. The days are lengthening by almost 6 minutes each day (40 minutes a week or so). The sun is now high enough in the sky to poke its head over the local mountain range. I now have sun coming through the windows. Its also still light when the news comes on at 6:00 PM.

    I am waiting a little longer to install the new seat and get the ,s polished up for their spring debut. I also have a paint my project in the works. We will see how that turns out.

    Did you consider giving Pete at Powersportwraps.com a call? He could probably "vinyl you up" some parts to cover the panels...

    At this point I am leaning towards paint unless the final quote scares me off.

    I know that he's done panels for others, and if you don't like it; it ain't permanent!
    Just a thought...
    Have a great weekend up there!

    There is no escaping the Florida heat in the summer though. I think Tennessee/North Carolina is the "sweet spot"

    Yeah Bob....

    North Carolina is fine with me. Moved here from Johnson City, NY in 1979, never looked back.
    Rode 3 days last weekend, including MLK day Monday. I've got to admit.. we're at 28 degrees now with ice covered streets, but the forcast is for mid 60's next week.
