Vroom !!!!!

Got up to 50 degrees over the weekend so I hooked up the battery and fired up the Scrambler. Way too much salt and water on the roads to go riding, but at least I got the aural pleasure ! Riding season still two months off unless Al Gore is right.

OK, you have a "Scrambler" so find a muddy field and have fun. Nothing a garden hose won't fix.

Same here, got up to 53 degrees in the Boston area. But couldn't resist. Got in a 2 hour ride. And yes there was 10 lbs of wet sand in my driveway after I washed and hosed down the bike.

Right there with ya.
Here in Indiana it was a great weather weekend.
Had to watch the slick spots, but it was a great ride.

The bike fired right up.
Here's to another season.

You are all crazy! The temp dropped to a frigid 55 degrees this week and it rained so I packed away my bike for the winter.

About Wednesday winter will be over and I will bring the bike back out. Sucks living in San Diego

I feel the pain. I grew up in Green Bay and I rode between snows into early December. I remember one winter I was riding when it began to snow. I rode slowly and careful to my girlfriend's house and parked the bike...great excuse to stay the night. the next morning there was three feet of snow and I had to shovel the bike out and put it in her garage for the winter.
