Would imagine there would be some shrinkage though.

It got into the low 30's overnight which was enough to melt some snow and ice in my driveway. I was able to sneak in 111 miles before work and it felt pretty freakin' good. Withdrawal was about to set in. It looks like there's some rain on the way but temps also creeping back up into the 50's. Hopefully the worst of winter here is over!

Kudos, I can't do it. Needs to be 50+ degrees for me to ride. I've ridden zero miles since Christmas day. But maybe this upcoming weekend.

Still zero - salt on the roads and melting snow on the shoulders. We're supposed to get some good rain midweek and then upper 60s on friday, even thinking about the day off, cause cabin fever is real lol.

Nothing serious, probably around 40 or so.

9" snow last week Monday, its all still here 9 days later, and the 3.2 mile to my house as not seen a plow, its all ice. I've winched a few people out of the ditch, road is so slick I have to tie the back end to a tree or telephone pole.

Been here 22 years, never seen this much snow, also never seen snow last more than three days.

Zero again.
Snow and ice on the ground 35° and rain making it foggy.....

The only thing I will be riding is the creeper while putting a new fuel pump, sending unit, and tank, in the 86 Z28.

Buddy, my supervisor checking my work.

I rode to the dentist office and locked my wheel disc locks.. my keys are at home. My wife is pretty mad and I believe I’ll be waiting here at the dentist office for quit a long time as she decides how long is long enough.

Im a genius.

Its not my parents proudest moment.

Update: 32 miles total… apparently a husband must wait 2 hours at the dentist for his forgotten disc lock keys to be brought. It also meant I got to fill her gas tank…she declined being taken out for diner.

Note to Husbands: Do not forget your disc lock keys.
