        Same here.

        Lots of parts on ebay tho....
        I'm a week away from my front forks.
        Hope I can afford them.
        Then I'll be all set for the season. I got new shocks, fork brace in the making, forks on ebay, got a plan for exhaust modification, got a new oil filter waiting.... all I need then is a road. And some gas money.

            Now I don't feel so bad with the 30-60 degree weather with no snow on the ground. Sucks to live in S.D. heee..heee..heee.. BUT we are due a severe down pour of snow Hopefully snow and not rain. If it's rain then Sioux Falls will probably float away.

                  Hey Strom! Glad you found it...hope you enjoy.

                  The third one . . . Life is a Road, Ride it Hard will contain the Alaska trip and should be out in late spring. I am actually sitting here working on parts of it now.

                  I'll be sure and keep folks posted . . . this one is running a bit behind my (self-imposed) schedule.

                    ok, my bikes got fresh oil and a chrged up battery. pulled it out of the garage so I could ride to school. Get my insurance activated on monday and head out to start it up and the battery is dead. ****!!!
                    put the battery on the charger, go to school and the next thing I know my bikes covered with 4" of snow.
                    I love living in Ohio, I like the snow but enough is enough. I'm ready for spring damnit.

                      I have actually gotten the bike out every month this winter, at least once. WI has had some really mild days, until recently.

                      Had to give it a couple of good washes, though. Salt scares me.

                      Next weekend - the Frozen Snot Run. How much fun is THAT gonna be
                      I've been in more than one Hemisphere, and I wrote a book to help you do it too (or just prepare better for that week long road trip). Going Small, not just for the little guys.

                            Hey Willy!

                            I was just watching the Weather Channel, and Hollis was mentioned. Y'all (How's my Texas accent?) had 11.3 inches yesterday. I talked to my Mom in Waterville (like I've got one somewhere else) yesterday, and she said there was four feet on the ground up there. Today in the Dallas area...86 degrees! Had a nice ride yesterday. Had to work today, but I did ride in. I'm thinking of going 'Down East' in early April...could ya make sure the stuff is gone by then?
