The temps here in Jersey were in the low 60's today. I got out for a ride in the early afternoon and it was great!!!

I went out today for the first time in 2 mos. Not too much salt left and most of the sand has blown to the side of the road so good times. Some runoff from snow piles but temp in the low 70's. I felt like a kid with a new toy, it sure cleared the cobwebs out of my head.

55 here today only saw one guy on a Ultra Classic. Good thing it was white cause the roads are still loaded with salt. I will wait till Daytona next month.

Cool

I was out today, I was also out Monday. I will be out tomorrow. Supposed to be around
70 tomorrow. The wife and I are going to NC coast this weekend. Been since last fall since we been there. It has been a cold, snowy winter for us in WNC, good to have some warm temps for a change.

Dunno where in CT you are YeOldeStonecat...but up here in Northern CT they went back to the old ways (must be cheaper!). There's salt everywhere...chunks of it along the road. Yes, the sand is a lot less than it used to be, but its still here too.

I've managed to ride every month the last few years since they started going heavy on that green liquid they put down...but the ice on the roads combined with the 6 foot high snow drifts at every intersection have kept me on the sidelines in January and Feb.

Have been dying to go out this week, but too busy and the lack of visibility at the intersections has me nervous I am gonna get hit.

Commuted to work this morning (mid 40's) but it warmed up to low 60's by the time I went home.

Was a blast to take the new V&H for a roar along 95 to 476. Nothing beats having that wind blast by while riding on thunder.
