Isn't winter over yet ? !!!

It has been 65 for the last two days here in Arkansas. Had the H-D out both days. It also gave me some time to piddle with the wife's xj as well. Finally getting some of the bugs worked out. I hope to have it ready for her before riding season so she can get some seat time. She is a 100% noobie. 8O

 

Here's a look out the door earlier today.

 

Minus 24 Celcius this morning (minus 11 degrees F).

Winter definitwly ain't over in this neck of the woods. Fingers got a little cold trying to clean out a carb bowl in the garage last night...

 

-24 degrees F last night. Our dog slipped on the ice in the driveway while chasing me on the four wheeler and hurt his left rear knee. Now I have to carry him down the steps whenever he has to take a leak. Tried to take him in today but the vet wants $145 just to look at him since its a Sunday. I guess he'll have to tough it out until tomorrow.

 

Found out today the dog has a torn ACL that will require surgery. This winter just keeps getting tougher. Hopefully he'll be healed and recovered by riding season. Hate to see the poor guy in pain.
Apparently, from the estimate they gave me for the surgery, no one has told the vets office we are in a economic crisis. I guess the Maxim will have to wait a little while longer for that fresh coat of paint.

 

Dang dude, hate to hear that about your dog.Hope he gets well soon

 

On Sundays, I have to go to the beach and collect a sample for NOAA. Yesterday it was 19c = 66 in the air and 15c = 59F in the water (which I had to be in up to my chest). Got out and it felt like 85 out side. Of course we pay for it in the summer when it is 98F and 98% humidity. Feels like 1010F. Come down here for July 4th and I'll show you some global warming!

 

43 degrees today. 43 degrees Celsius. (That's 110F)

 

Nice. Ross!!! We got all the way up to 4*F (-29*C) today. Nice day out though. Beautiful sunny day and snowing!! :roll:

Oh, yeah, no riding today!

 

Right there with ya smeltzer. Woke up with 5+ inches of the "White Death" on the ground this morning.

I blame Al Gore!

 

our winter has just begun... we hardly ever get snow anymore, we just get ice storms that turn the whole state into a skating rink for a few days... Just add bad drivers -- makes its own sauce! :mrgreen:

 

Back in the deep freeze in MoTown; 0*F yesterday AM, 5*F this morning with 2"-6" of snow on the way.

Am I the only one who sits on his motorcycle making vroom-vroom sounds when no one is looking?

 

we are in the middle of winter.

unless someone shoots that damned groundhog before he comes out of his hole we can expect to have winter right up to the spring solstice.

 

See, global warming is BS!

The ice caps are not melting, they're getting chopped up and sprinkled on the Midwest.

 

Calling for snow for the rest of the week. Bike sits in the garage waiting for spring. Got a package tray for her on the weekend, but that has to wait too.

 

We have had our 4 days of winter 42 and freezing rain today and then back in the 60's anyway. I put a little windshield on my maxim and that helped keep my eyes from watering so bad when i was riding in 50 degree weather. I am trying to ride whenever I can but the bike won't start at around 40 degrees without a shot of starting fluid. I use regular gas and it just doesn't have enough to get it going. I have to wear my glasses and the full face helmet I have is just a pain with them.

The price of bikes doesn't seem to be dropping all that much,although there are a few deals if you are quick.The was a yamaha bobber on craigslist the other day for 300 in dfw.

 

Ice here in Arkansas. But not to bad today.Maybe worse tonite.

 

As long as no one sees you it doesn't count! and yes

 

Nah there are lots of them out there...

I got caught by my wife but she already knows I''m not right...

 

i do it with my cb750 all the time, but its not a vroom, its like a bah bah babah bah..whoom, whoom, and then somehow it turns into a 2 stroke and then its wiiiiing, wiiiiing! wing ning ning ning
