Winter sucks!

I'd go crazy without winter and lots of snow........need it for the snowmobiles. Yup, motorcycles all summer and snowtorcycles all winter. Plus we can be a "little" more reckless with them

 

I get my Seca back tomorrow. Sunshine with temps in the 60's yesssssssssssss

 

Gonna hit 60 this weekend (as opposed to the average of 35 for the winter). Riding down to Macon with some pals!

 

You're welcome in Aus anyday, Fitz! haha

 

Winter... You just have to learn to live with it.

The moring ride.

 

. I'm gonna have to agree. Here in the "arm pit" of new york there's not much to do during the winter except ride sleds and work on your projects. To bad I sold my sled last year. Wish I still had it.

 

It truly sucks, went to start Frankenbiker the other day and all he did was moan and groan. He doesn't like to turn in the extreme cold 10 deg. here the day I tried, but he cranked just fine. Once it warms above 25 he'll turn. I rode it until Thanksgiving day this year, it was around 20 out and he started right up and ran with no complaints.
Yes I know I'm crazy for refering to my bike as a live entitiy. But if you knew "Franky" you would too.

 

I've been watching the x games and I would really like to try snowmobiles. My wife lived in Montana for a while and she said they are a blast. But......it was 69 here yesterday! I rode about 4 hours. Of course today we are back in the 40s with drizzle. It was great while it lasted.

 

More snow or something like it tonight/tomorrow. Ugh....

 

Got 3" today, looking at another 3 tomorrow, followed by 30+ mph winds. Ahh Minnesota. At least it was 15 degrees today, not too shabby to rap up Jan. LOL

 

Sorry to make you guys jealous but this winter in Fort Lauderdale has been perfect. I don't remember how to drive my truck it's been about 3 weeks. I'll take this over the brutal July/August heat that makes your helmet stick to your head.

 

We just got a winter storm warning....up to 35 cm of snow by tomorrow night, I hate winter with a passion. No grass, dead grey trees, cold cars are covered in salt, aaaaaargh!
Ummmm, did I mention I hate winter?

 

30 degrees all week. This is my new best friend

 

There ya go. I have the "Big Buddy," the same heater with two grids. I run it off a 30lb propane bottle outside the side door of the garage.

This morning's festivities: (The same storm Max-X is enjoying right now) view out my back door...




This sure seems like a long time ago...

 

We've just had a record heatwave in Sydney, longest on record.. 40C (104F) 7 days straight.. and still going.
Give me your winter any day!

 

Still sucking here in Cincinnati

 

The local news just annouced we got 18 cms today, just a tad over 7" for you non-metric types. :wink: :wink:

 

I know, you're on the wrong side of Lake Huron; that one just "grazed" us, we got a dusting. I saw on the radar map you were getting pounded again.

 

Well, things are getting worse all the time.
Take last night for instance, stayed up late watching Dirty Harry till about 2 AM. Figures it was time for bed, go upstairs and DRIP!
Look at the carpet in the hallway and it's wet, look at the ceiling and there is water dripping from the smoke alarm!
Get all panicky, go out to the garage and bring in the step ladder to take a look in the attic and here is what I found:

Here's a couple shots of how much snow we've had lately, guess enough had accumulated on the roof that the wind had blown it in.

 

It's -7 right now with a brisk wind which really cuts to the bone in short order. Didn't really feel much like staying outside for very long this morning with dangerous windchill happening. Looks like it'll be awhiile before I feel like riding any distance, but never pass up the chance to go spin some sh!tties in the drivway with the bobber!!
Yes, it's winter so get over it. Cowboy up!
