    Gotta Love those Texas Winters

    Dallas, Texas--5:00am. Southbound US 75 at an unmetionable speed. Balmy, breezy, clear and 66 degrees!

    Bloody hard to actually make the turn-off to come in to work.

    Gotta love those Texas winters!

    (sitting at my desk trying to make up some excuse to go to Houston)

        I had the very same problem yesterday afternoon. I was on 121 in Grapevine, and such a hard time MAKING the bike exit into the airport, so I could go to work. Just wanted to keep on going, at least to McKinney, or beyond. Rode home in just jeans, and jacket, no gloves. Ain't it a bitch

              Now be honest John...we are having a cold snap this week. Why, it must be down to 50 degrees or so out there in the gorgeous sunlight!

              "Twighlight" special! LOL! Is it grey?

              Merry Christmas and happy holidays everybody!

                  Well John, if you rub a little harder you may warm up!

                  To Dragonrider: Twilite Special is a blacked out 80 SG, but it doedn't have the gold trim of a Midnight Special. There is a description of it in my profile

                  Xmas day in North Texas: Beautiful and sunny. Ride 'em if ya got 'em!
