I see your midwest, Central Illinois Steel Wheel! All you southern and Cali boys, just rub it in, rub that salt right in our open wounds! It was nice enough for a little ride but I still have about 2"'s of ice in my driveway so shes still sitting!!!
I'm up just west of Joliet Steel Wheel, maybe some time we can meet up and do a little riding. We have a few GREAT bars on the river around here and Starved Rock to ride around at, show the bikes and the 1st beer is on me. A lot of people from all around comes and it turns out to be like an unofficial bike show at times!!!
EDIT: I am hoping for a day or two just to be able to unpack the bike and do a show cleaning on it out in the garage, unheated. No one sees my bike dirty, no dust, no dirt, no bugs.

You Southern boys been hard hit this year. Got cousins in Kentucky that've been colder and snowier than us at times. Ruined my argument about moving south...

I rode around the block, the 20 mile route. Temp was in the high forties. Only problem right now is that I can't turn around in my driveway until it re-freezes. And it's a long driveway, so parking down at the end of it is not a viable option.
Oh, well. I'll get her turned around at first light, and ride again tomorrow.

Well it got up to 38 today and the roads were dry. The past month temps were in the low teens. So I said F it lets go. Did about 120 miles and it felt great. Only draw back is the 2 hours of cleaning. Lots of salted melting snow on the shoulders. Impossible to stay on completely dry roads. But it was all worth it.
