Everyone ready for spring. I don't know what the weather has been for you but we have had a lot of rain and ice where I'm at. I can handle the rain its the ice that is always bad news.
A friend of ours wife just got a new 2007 Honda 750 Shadow for next to nothing. The dealer really made her a good deal so he could get it moved off the floor. Looks like time to go see what they have left on the floor for 07.

Yeah there's some deals to be had right now. I was up in London to get oil and filters the other day and the dealership had a 2007 Suzuki Bandit 1250s complete with factory hard bags and fairing lowers for $8600 CDN. More than just a bit tempting.

ya new rides are nice, but i'll stick my old guzzi. speed is not for a old fart like myself. I 'll set the curse control
and roll 70 or so for 10 -12 hours. Oh its easy run dry. I like to get out in late febuary to the hill country .
Fredricksberg Tx. to Lano over Luckenbock Tx. sure makes for a great day. Lots of uppy trail pulling wannabes
drag there rides in fron up north. My sleep apnea has inproved with meds to lower my BP. Now to get off my
fat axx. And find work. If I had the cash to play with a Honda touring valkery trike wood be nice.
Keep the rubber to the road and the bugs out of your teeth. Oh yo watch out for the latio drivers from
south of the border. yuo all have a safe ride. zombie dude.

Well here we are in February and heading towards March. Any one getting weather they can get out and ride in? Still looks pretty cold across the North America right now. We had snow down to about 400 feet yesterday. I actually saw the white stuff falling out of the sky. We noramlly just get a lot of rain.
Saw some ads running on great deals for new bikes. It will be a few more before I can get a new Wing. Still going to be riding my 95 Wing for some more riding seasons. Got to go out to the garage and start it up today and check things over. Got get some heat out there one of these days.

It's been killing me. Since I sold my sidecar I can't go out riding like before. Yesterday I actually drove a car to the International Motorcycle Show in Minneapolis. In the past I would have bundled up and taken the sidecar rig. Now the temperatures are climbing into the high 30's and 40's and I have to wait because of all the sand out there.  Again, this stuff never bothered my sidecar.

 I sorry to hear about your illness. I found out that my sleep apnea is a side efect of my blood pressure meds.
I now take them at bed time. staying awake is easyer. but still need to have a sleep study. I am still hoping the state
of Texas will foot the bill. or some of it. I hope to do some long over due maintenance on my Motoguzzi. I 'll be going
back to work and will have some income once again, something that I think is called a paycheck.  We all wish you well. My wife did not want me to sell my two wheeler. She was mostly rrrrrriiiiiggghhhtttt  Its been a vary long time since being in the wind. zombie dude.

Well the last couple of weekends here have really dried out. There have been lots of bikes out on the road. I unfortunately have not been one of them. Been working so I have missed out. Course still lots of loose gravel on the roads from the winter weather. Hopefully it will still be dry a little longer and I will get the chance to get out an ride.

We had just a great weekend last weekend. It got up to 80 here and spent Saturday out on the bike. Course the bad news is that we got a winter storm in the area and have had snow coming down this weekend. I was really hopeful that spring was finally going to be here. No such luck.
Found a used Bushtec Turbo II trailer in great condition. Just got it painted to match the bike. I'm really ready for the weather to get nice so I can do some long distance riding.

I've not been riding much yet. I sold the Valkyrie sidecar rig last December and I'm in the process of matching these two pieces. A Moto Guzzi V11EV and a Milray Coupe Royale sidecar.

 It's warming up
Well the temp is really warming up in Maryland. I have a 2006 Yamaha V-Star 1100. I drive it to work everyday as long is the temp is above 40 and it isn't raining to much. Keep the shiny side up!

The weather here in Northwest Oregon is still below average temps. Did get some riding in but the rains and cold have kept it to a minimum. Next week looks like we are getting to normal temps for this time of year. If we do I don't mind the rain so much as it will at least be above 50 everyday. Our CD has been making a joke about global warming not being up to speed here in our part of the country yet.
SidecarMike Nice looking sidecar you are doing there. How's the weather been going for you? I hope you get the sidecar done and get some riding in.

Where oh where have all the motorcycle riders gone??? Wait I know we're all out riding....right??
Well the weather here has provide a few days of riding weather. I really should move though as it still has been pretty rainy and cold here. Today is going to be a nice day for a ride. So as soon as the sun get out from behind the clouds here I will be off for a ride. How is the riding season doing for everyone else? Must be good no messages here.
