    Always happens. Got the bike running great now thanks to parts bought from Chacal. Monday and Tuesday (my 2 days off) it's supposed to snow 3-6". Damn Michigan weather.

    Hope the weather is better for others to get out and ride.

    I hope it doesn't get too bad as my bike is my main transportation. I rode it all week to work and back the guys think I am a little nuts. But I think they are the Crazy ones as thier bikes are just sitting not being used. I Too am from Mi but down near the IN border so I hope the snow stays north.

    Weather on Sunday for the Oregon 250 is forecasted to be sunny and 70 deg. We'll see. Today it is raining/sleeting/hailing off and on.

    We gort rid of our snow now, but 4 days of rain and I need to get a bit of painting and stuff done, and no room to do it unless I can get a nice day outside...... otherwise temps are almost in the right range to ride....
    (still a few below freezing mornings though)

    It finally stopped snowing up here (for now). But the wet parts of the road have ash in them, which is really hard to wash off the bikes. Boo.

    Thats one badazz bike for sure . looks like a lot of fun.

    We used to go watch dirt bike ice racers, we loved to watch them toss up a rooster tail of ice.

    YO! Up here in Grande Prairie Alberta there is still two feet of snow on the ground. But the sun is warm and the streets are clear. I'm gonna take my bike for a little stretch tomorrow and see how she feels. Try to blow the cobwebs out.
