Default Loosing my mind

I live in Mass and we had a 60 degree week so I got the bike ready. Then bam 30 degree's. The worst part is I bought another bike and that's all I want to do is ride the dam thing. The roads are sandy as hell and its freezing and that's all I can think about. I'm going nuts. Do you have the same problem. I know its only March but I need my two wheeled therapy.

I still have a 3/4" sheet of ice in front of the garage where my ride is stored, so I spent an hour this afternoon chopping ice. Would I rather be riding, and am I going crazy: DAMN RIGHT!

I was doing this the other week, my dad walked out wondering if I was nuts. But damnit, it was going to be 70+ degrees in a few days and I wanted to make sure that ice was gone.

Hi from Westford, MA. Yeah, I got already 25 miles under my belt, this year. How sad is that? And it soooo pisses me off when those guys from Cali and Florida post stories and pics of their latest rides.

Same deal down here in South Jersey, 2 weeks ago we had 60° daytime high temps, got in 2 weekends of good riding, and even rode to work a couple of days. This past week it was back to winter weather with cold temps, rain, snow showers this morning, and plenty of wind to go around. The only thing we don't have is sand on the roads, but there's more potholes than you can shake a stick at, and some are like bomb creators......
