just a slight rub for you folks that are snowed in - i got in almost 200 miles of riding today - dem - it was a little chillieeeeee 55 degree's - but i lived thru it :twirl

[dano]

I put in a little over 200 last Saturday. It was kind of cool as I left the house (45 degrees), but it warmed up to almost 80 within 100 miles.

Sky was clear and blue, roads were free of debris and wind was non-existent. :clap

[riderR1150GSAdv]

Did 200 miles this past weekend and another 200 on Monday :D :D
So far over 2K for the year! :clap

I may not be able to ride, but I can still dream... I went to a couple of local bike shops today, sat on the 2005 Triumph Tiger, and pretended to be on a 200 mile ride.

PS. to all that rode today, you should be aware that snowballs stored in freezers for extended periods of time turn into painful iceballs, and Mark11LT is gunning for you.

I'm getting up at 5am tomorrow and riding to Death Valley. I'll ride the dirt roads of the park on Saturday, give away a bunch of swag we've collected on Saturday afternoon and then ride home on Sunday. I've got a fresh bottle of Elijah Craig 18 yo bourbon and a cigar to keep me busy tomorrow night.

Pictures and ride report some time next week. I'm getting up on Monday morning and flying to NYC for a trade show.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how deep do you have to dig to get to the rocks :D :p :D :p :D :p :stick

[dano]

It's supposed to be somewhat decent tomorrow, at least for the most part.

I'm thinkin.....sleep in til 10am or so, roll the ole RT out of my garage (shop) and hit the road......for a 100 miles or so. :D :stick

Then maybe if the weather cooperates, do it again (only longer) on Saturday.

If you see me....just honk and I'll :wave .

[Hodag]

after about 50-100 snowballs I can see rocks, but I make mine big because when you dunk them in water they shrink a little, then its in the freezer, or garage in my case :nra

Dave-Where you stayin'? I'm in the cabins at Furnace Creek. I'll be on the K75 with Utah plates, by a '99 Silver F650 w/Jesse bags. (Don't know which cabin, I'll have to search. Hope to see you there. Check the road conditions, these last storms tore up the DV roads pretty well.

Up here in Vermont the weather report is for -15 to -30 F tonight. A couple days ago it was 6 degrees and that felt kind of mild.

[tommy]

[riderR1150GSAdv]

Note to self..... would have brought invisibility cloak :D
Unfortunately I won't be making it to the National this year as the date conflicts with my work schedule :cry :cry :cry :cry
So I gotta ride some more before-hand, maybe tomorrow I'll cry in my helmet for a while..... :stick :twirl

Did 380 miles in 40-53 degree sunny weather each of the last two Saturdays southwest of Fort Worth. Decided to stay in and goof off today.

[BobFV1]

Did 300 miles last Saturday and over 200 today on the RT. Too bad I have to fly to DC for the week on business - but I'll be back on the boxer next Saturday!!!

Whether I have a snowball or not in my hand, I am probably up to something.... :stick ;)

Fricking garage door froze shut today....

Oh well, we have snow you have hurricanes, no place is perfect.

[donkey doctor]

Hello; greetings from teh frozen north. I put on 178.6 miles today, the temp. didn't rise above 9 degrees, not clod enough for the electric vest. I saw some Harleys out too.

[The_Veg]

not clod enough for the electric vest.

So how much of a clod do you have to be to use the vest? :p

[donkey doctor]

Hello; Forgive the typo, but that's funny.

Donkey - You are most definitely THE MAN. How did you keep warm, did you wrap yourself in the carcass of fresh road kill?

[donkey doctor]

Hello; I layer up, and use that new super longjohns. I have a alpaca scarf, I think it is vicuna, I put that on after the helmet. Winter weight leather gloves, JR Ballistic 4, liner, and a padded shirt/hoodie. My knees were pretty cold, it took an hour or so to warm them back up. I pack rain gear, but didn't need it.

Thanks for teh encouragement.

[dano]

Oops......got in another 225 mile ride on Friday.

Was running out of time, otherwise, I would have been shooting for an easy 300 miles. :D

Someone once told me....."life is too short, to not be able to ride year-round".

I do think that pretty much sums it all up............. :thumb
