Resumed!
Back to riding every day to work and back (if not more) here in NJ. Won't ride if black ice is possible (depends on morning temps) and have to be REALLY careful of potholes, but, weather permitting -
I'M BACK!
I'M BACK!

I'd be up for something when the weather warms up a little.

I'm in Redford, and work down in Allen Park. I usually go to Royal Oak on Thursdays (all of my buddies still ride sportbikes, so we go on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays). I hear there is a nice bike night in Ypsi as well but I haven't checked it out yet. I may have to head up to Romeo sometime, the downtown is really nice!

Yeah it's beautiful up here in CT.......no time today with onsite work stuff..but tomorrow I hope to get out there.
They don't sand and salt the roads up here anymore, they spray down that new brine fluid..which is less salt, combined with sugar and a few other things. So the danger of sand on the roads is a thing of the past. As for the brine....that's what a garden hose, soap, bucket, and sponge is for when I get home after the ride....I'm not too lazy to do that.
Bought the bike to ride...not stare at.

Sounds good - join up on the Michigan Riders social group, I'll post reminders there.

I'm pretty close to everyone else so I could be down for a meet-up this Spring.

is it 4:00 yet
It took me an hour to chip the ice off the driveway to create a 4 ft wide path to the front of the gate from the garage, I usually do not shovel the driveway from behind the gate to the garage because I have no reason to go back there when it's cold out. Now I'm just waiting for the clock to hit 4:00 and I'm going home to pull the bike out for a ride, it's 60 right now and partly sunny. I think one of the best rides is when I get out into the rural (farming area) Medina area and cruising down the road with the sun gleaming off the snow covered fields.

Seen the first bike on the road today for 2011 here in Michigan. Temps got up to the mid 50's. I seen it just South of St Johns on old 27 about 1:15 PM. I think it was a Road King or something that looks like one from the back. But Colder Weather is now on it's way back.
