    Default Hate to spoil the fun...

    But the weather man said that Upstate NY, PA and some other New England states could get up to 6" of snow this weekend. And that's no joke.

    Hope everyone is wrong on the snow prediction. Our four inches melted pretty quick from last weekend. The leaves are getting ready to pop out. Fingers crossed.

    I guess I'll have to get me one of them there 250cc dirt bikes to ride this weekend in the snow.

    I checked the forecast and don't see any flakes called out.

    No salt on the road, I will be ryding. The weathermen and women in our area are nothing but a bad joke. Imissed out on three good ryding days listening to them. Now I just look at the radar and see if I have rain in my immediate future. I am buying rain gear as soon as I can spare the 80 bucks for it and I am gonna make miles. Hopefully I will see you all out there.

    Just sayin'............
    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

    Just sayin'............

    Back to the office...
    Heading up there this morning, I only hit some light sprinkles; not enough for a rainsuit!
    Coming back, my TourMaster Elite one-piece suit got a workout.
    But it did it's job and I'm in the office as dry as some bleached Desert Bones...
    Oh! The Kumho is definitely capable of handling wet roads in fine fashion!

    I NEVER believe the weatherfolks. Try http://www.weather.gov/ and click on the Forecast tab and maps for your riding area and get the NOAA seven day local forecast. Much more reliable (and current).

    Question aside: Doesn't USAF stand for US Air FARCE? (Fly Navy and all the girls in the bar want to meet you -- and the bar is in Singapore, not MINOT!) :-)

    Bruiser,
    I apologize for calling your weatherfolks a bunch of liars...
    They truly are Master Prognosticators of the skies...
    Places in Vermont got smacked with 7" of snow!

    No apology needed. These guys are pretty good. One of them is a friend of ours. He was one of our instructors in Sky Warn training. Kris and I are severe weather observer/reporter volunteers for the NWS. So, anyone break out the ski doo?
