    Looking like winter

    Well the snow has arrived in the semi frozen north, we are all white up here in Cadillac, looks like maybe yesterdays last ride on the F6B might have been the last hurrah! Time for putting the bike away and getting out the snow blower, I will be riding that for a few months now for sure. But I did get 163 miles in yesterday which is a first for me in the middle of November as usually we are up to our tail feathers in snow long before this. The deer hunter usually have an abundant amount of tracking snow by the 15th of November and not 65 to 72 degrees which was the case this year.

    Same here in western NYS. Current temp is 42 F, down from a high of 68 F about five hours ago. Sunny skies with some streaky clouds have been replaced by ice pellets and rain. I was on the road at 7:15am, headed out to Hamlin Beach State Park, a roughly 90 miles round trip. Beautiful ride with a nice four mile walk along Lake Ontario.

    Up to 10" of snow expected here by Monday...if this is it, the 2016 season sure was a long and prosperous one (first ride: 2/7/16), with 8500 miles, my highest season total by far.
    Former Ride:
    2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
    Latest Addition:
    2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode
    2019 Miles:
    7,900 as of 10/6

    I should be ready for Spring riding I sure missed the late Fall riding. I still have to change oil in the F6B, the Can Am Spyder and the Valkyrie....slow but steady.

    Hopefully I will get this thing off so I can at last feel a little wind this winter!
