20 days away and they are predicting single digit temps again for this weekend and S***! Got permission from the CEO to run with you guys, though it's about a 300 mile trip. It will be a good ice breaker / spring tune up ride for my Rolling Thunder trek. But man, single digits.Originally Posted by DMAGOLDRDR

Think spring...
I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.
The good thing is that it's still three weekends away. I'm not riding in 40 degree temps for 4 hours each way. I'm hoping for mid 50's at least. March is a little ambitious for this ride, but I'm all for it. I have a goal of 15,000 miles this year with no long trips planned. I'm less than 1,000 in since January.

The good news is today's and tomorrow's forecast is for temps in the mid 50's. Both days are made for you! They both include free heavy duty bike washes.
I had an uncle who worked his entire life outdoors as a carpenter. He always said winters not over until March 15. That explains this mornings forecast for the weekend. Highs in the 30's lows around 9 with snow.
Wednesday is the 15th. Long range forecast back to the 50's
Now if we can only get you to ride a dirty bike all will be fine.
Funny stuff.....my bike has been washed once since I've had it and my friend did it!

That's what I've been saying Mother Nature seems to be your friend !!
But please plan to ride 1 up on the 26. Or at least find another date. We only have seventeen days to go!
Forecast for today temps in upper 40's. Tonight 2" of snow, temps in the 20's. Friday night low of 10 degrees.
Quit complaining and move to Florida:>):>):>):>)
Bob, don't get me wrong, I ain't complaining. I've already had 4 days of riding in 60+ degrees so far this year. Even if it did interfere with my nap time.
I just enjoy giving condolences to those less fortunate working stiffs who keep our country going by riding on a forced schedule and usually in the rain, snow, or cold.
As far as moving to Florida goes. That ain't ever going to happen. I think I mentioned before I use to run my boat down to Key West every winter for 8 years back in the 80s when it was still nice down there. Now it's just one big flat strip mall from Jacksonville south!! Then if you stay down there from May until November it's too hot to ride in the day light between the freshet showers. Worst of all the pitter patter of rain drops hitting the bike changes to the split splat of bugs hitting your face shield and marring the bike's finish.
We have 3-6 forecast with more next Tuesday and Wednesday....temps aren't leaving the 40's for the next 2 weeks. I hope to see some mid to upper 50's before I have a 12 hour ride to do!
