I am getting bitter

[GARTHXS]

I am waiting for my pilot jets to arrive from the midwest so needless to say my bike is not running very well just got 4/1 exhaust installed . anyway I just had the last three days off and couldnt ride, of course the weather was really nice and sunny and I didnt have any thing else to do does any body else get this irritated about riding withdrawls

[81xsproject]

I do!! Drives me crazy. Will be a beautiful day and I will have something to go and do that would make a great excuse to ride. Then SWMBO will decide that we should ALL go. BOOOOO! 3 year old don't ride, which means neither do I

Oh, my heart is just bleeding for you guys

The left coast probably has twice the number of good riding days as we do here in the northeast, not to mention our northern buddies!

Can you hear the tiny violins playing?

Garthxs, hope your needles show up soon.

Still putting my bikes togethers....won't be long now on the SG. So yes, I must admit that the bitter person inside me gets a little smile when the weather is bad and I don't have to see everyone else out enjoying their bikes.

Actually, I don't really care....seeing all the other bikes just motivates me to get mine done ASAP. Today in NH for example....beautiful day. So I plan on getting my butt over to ME and get some more work done on that SG.

Here is something worse than having to wait on parts while the weather is beautiful outside.

Try having a functional bike in the garage on a perfect day and your the one that is broken.

Three years ago I blew out a ligament in my wrist and had to have it fused. I missed the entire riding summer. Last week while moving some firewood I tweaked the other wrist in the same location. Looks like 2 weeks before I see the bike again, and that depends if eveything snaps back into place. Otherwise a mri is instore. I am not a happy camper. Every time I go in the garage and see the bike I get sick to my stomach.

"does any body else get this irritated about riding withdrawals?"

Hi Garth,
only from October when the snow freezes onto the roads until April when it thaws off them again.
Hi 81xs, the family that chairs together fares together, get a sidecar!

[GARTHXS]

side car

I asked the wife what she thougt about a side car and she said I was crazy , heck she should have known that at least ten years ago

[fredintoon]

My wife said that too

and honestly, I couldn't persuade her to even sit in the thing once we had gotten it attached. My son had to shame her into a trial ride with him driving. Now she delights in riding alongside in comfort playing Elvis on her discman. There are considerable advantages besides being able to take the child along. For instance, a lady can be taken to a social occasion wearing a nice dress instead of being obliged to sport the leather look. Unless she WANTS to sport the leather look, that is.

That why I like to keep a couple of bikes in reserve....
