    Riding

    Well big, we all don't have 365 days to ride, up here we have two seasons, riding season and maintenance season. Unfortunately, they both last about the same time.

      Just figure out a way to mount a ski on the front?

      No 365 days for riding here either, by far, but ice on the roads is about the only thing that keeps me from riding. Lots of rides in the teens and single digits, but usually just to work and back, so maint. "season" is when something breaks or wears out. lol.

        Good to know you work well under pressure. I have an engine in the garage you can play with while you are here in April. I'll have beer.
