Re: This forum needs more threads... Chicago/Milwaukee rider

i got in a FEW miles, gets a little boring riding solo though. keeping an eye on the weather channel still hoping to hook up with ya'll for a spin around the hood.

Buzzed around town and outlying areas for about 30 - 40 minutes. Not a lot of time but still it's time well spent.

The wind was nasty! Some of the local roads had a crosswind that almost blew me into the cornfields! 8O

The next week or so looks like it's going to suck. :-(

 

Re: This forum needs more threads... Chicago/Milwaukee rider

well it's like almost 67 degrees now ,and everyones at work ,can't come out and play

 

Re: This forum needs more threads... Chicago/Milwaukee rider

I had today off but I had to rake leaves and junk so I only got around the block on the bike.

Of course this is in part due to having to install a new cafe fairing on my bike since I clipped the edge of the lawn tractor getting her out of the garage today and she fell over. :-(

I'm hoping to go out later this afternoon before the wife and kid comes home.

I was out Sunday on the Buell and it was colder than a witche's t*t. 25 miles and it took two hours to warm my fingers up after the ride...that was WITH gloves on!

 

Yeah, I've been on a few short, chilly hops. But it's looking to be 79 again today, so I'm riding to work. C-ya!

Any local riders in need of shop services? I have a lift and tools. PM me if interested.
I also have carb synch gages, a Colortune and a YICS tool.

 

hey i'm up in Two Rivers WI, anyone up here??

 

So, how many got out this past weekend?
I did 50 miles (Buell) on Saturday, and about 40 Sunday. Ahhhh, spring at last!

 

How 'bout posting a pic of your bike?
Where is Two Rivers near?

 

Rode Monday(23), Tuesday(24), Saturday, and Sunday total of about 350 miles. Had vacation, use it or lose it. Didn't get anything else accomplished that week.

 

Once i get my bike back from the shop, i'll post a picture

I'm actually closer to Green Bay then Milwaukee..

 

Too much house work this past weekend (broke my heart), but I cleaned out the garage, so I got to duck walk the bike a few feet. . . . Oh and we dropped in to ACE Powersports in Kenosha to drrol a little. I was going to ride up there, but the missus (and baby) wanted to come along.

I've ridden to work M & T (which makes for 50-mile days), but the big boss is in today so I'm going to need my cage. I think I'll partake in my other expensive hobby this evening, though, and go out to the airport for a bit.

 

a) What is your "other expensive hobby", b) which airport, and c)...do I know you?
