It seems lately my thought process has been consumed by one thing, RIDING. First thing I do in the morning, after essentials, is fill the cup and open the door to the garage; looking at the bikes. Thinking "Soon ladies, soon". As I drive to my first stop, I can see the hills and roads of Tennessee beckoning me to "ride me". I can almost hear the pipes. This year has been an odd one as the weather has worked against me. Rain, Cold, Snow, all the things I left Chicago for years ago, figured Tennessee was far south enough to escape winter. But since the Volunteer State has some of the most beautiful riding roads, I'll stay, but FLA looks good right now.
As my day wears on, I think more and more about riding. I go over my check list time and time again, " what else do I need to do to get ready?" More coffee. Then, as I drive home after a 12 hr day of agonizing, I pull up the house and enter the garage, "daddy's home". Then set in to tweaking, adjusting, cleaning, and best of all, polishing, got wood?
Oh well, time to eat, talk trips and riding, Oh, and talk with this bunch of addicts

Crap, it snowed in Virginia today. They told me when I moved here it never snows.

I'm right there with ya, LarryB. This weather is driving me nuts. And all I seem to be able to think about is the bike and riding and mods and what's going on here and selling some of the parts I have lying around to finance my OCD and...

Sheesh! No wonder I'm tired!

We had the first sunny dry day of the year on 28feb, managed 100km dealer hopping delivering flyers for a bike event i am involved with. 2day n 4 the foreseeable days its forcast rain, atleast the rest of the snow will melt n the roads washed of salt.

I feel your pain.  All I can do is look at my baby in the garage and dream.  Today we have snow, 6 inches when I left the house this morning, and more to come.  All I can say, I hope mother nature has got it out of her system and Spring is on the way.  Soon, very soon.

Yeah, being from Canada I have the winter blahs big time. I usually put the bike in the trailer mid March and high tail it down south. Looks like its the plan again this year.

I try not to think about it to much when it's cold (my ole arse don't like being cold and riding), but we've had some warm (50/60 degree) days recently and I was just waiting for all the roads to be clear of chemicals and sand.... Then what do we get last night.... another fricken snow storm (worse one this winter) and the roads look like a salt mine again. And to top it all off it's going to be in the 60's again by the weekend, but until we get a couple good days of rain I'm not taking mine out. 

 
Ride Safe,
