Out at last
« on: March 11, 2008, 02:57:15 PM »
   :grin: Saturday and Sunday --- I was out.   :grin:

It was a touch on the cool side but the roads are clear and most important, the ice was gone behind the garage.   I logged over 300 km and it was great to be back on the Bandit after what has been a long winter.   I even got the better half to ride pillion, all the way to the coffee shop, and back.

 :beers: good news indeed!  :beers:
We suffered yet another weekend of ice/snow showers...can't wait to get out though. Glad to hear riding is coming back to the great white north.

Way to go, Tony !!! You're a lot braver than I am, though. Even though the glacier has receded from my shed door, I don't think I'll get #17 out until (probably) April at the earliest.....unless global warming picks up some speed in Cowtown.  :lol:
Even with my Kilimanjaro on and the liner in and ski-pants/sweats it's still a little too cool at speed for me at this time of year. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a warm weather rider.
Roll on April/May...... :bandit:

Had a GSXR 1000 blow by my econo box on the highway today...gave a thumbs up and got a bit wave...nearly froze my darn hand off out the window though, why oh why do i never follow through on those grip warmers i always talk about. 
Good to see somebody out though!

Well, we've had our share around here in London, but there is this one guy on one of those Ural sidecar outfits, that has ridden pretty much everyday so far this winter.
I travel between London and St. Thomas to work everyday on Highbury Ave, there are a couple of other guys that join Highbury between London and St. Thomas and even on the coldest shi**iest days one or the other of us says "Hey did'ya see the guy on the sidecar this morning"?
He's dressed in what looks like a Ski jacket and pants, heavy boots and snowmobile mitts.
Don't know if it's his only form of transport, but he's still riding!
Got a good look at his rig today and it's not one of those with a live axle that would give it two wheel drive.
