*Sigh*  A bunch of worthless trash boxes from work that have yet to make it to the dumpster are hoarding the garage so I woke up this morning to discover this grizzly sight.



She's been through worse rain/inclement weather, but I think she's still upset about the whole snow thing.  To make matters worse, it was like 65 degrees here last Thursday which plummeted down to today's 15.  It's almost like mother nature is just toying with me.  Hot, cold, hot cold.  It's not weather, it's malaria. 

I just hope everyone elses ride is faring better than mine.  I just keep telling myself that spring is only a few weeks away.  New rubbers, new cockpit, new gear, and a whole new year.  I'm pumped. 

P.S. - no tailchop comments.  It's a work in progress  ;D

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

the question you really need to ask yourself is "will it start?"  i knew my battery was getting weak but it started every time and never let me down until the temp dropped roughly 30* overnight down to about 45 and i needed to ride to work.

why would you do such a thing?  some of us people like looking at that neat little black area on the elbows of our jackets when we ride.

Like I said fellas, work in progress :)  I guess there really isn't an excuse for the stickers though.

I moved a bunch of stuff that morning and squeezed her in so all is right with the world again.  I've not had a problem starting it in 15degree weather, this time was no exception.  Regular riding combined with a tender apparently work wonders.  Plus it sat outside (usually covered) for about 5 months until I found this place anyway.  Now to get rid of this cold white stuff......

as the cliche' goes, if you don't like the weather in MO, wait five minutes...it'll change

how did you like the snow/sleet yesterday and today?  or was it more ice in your area?
