Hey, send that temp over NY harbor towards me. Only 42'F with mist and clouds. Didn't stop me from going out for a ride, but would have liked your spring weather better.
Central NJ had a "heat wave" early this afternoon with temperatures soaring to 52 deg F. Rushed out, dusted off the bike, then promptly did 65 miles to nowhere. Wow, what a treat! Bike ran well except minor issues at idle. Hoping it's just from "sitting around" and nothing a can or 2 of Sea Foam can't cure.
Just had to "tell the world" that Leo was correct when he recently proclaimed, "Spring is coming to NJ". Yeaaaa!

We had a day of 40F last week-but it snowed Fri, Sat, and again this morning. Just 2-3 inches each time- enough to need to shovel each time>and put us back tothe low 20's.
Got into 40s today but still snow in some places and salt all over roads.
SO SICK OF WINTER
Got smacked hard today with 12 inches of that white crap. The only good thing is the roads will be clear and dry in a couple of days.

Forgot to mention, for the benefit of any folks not familiar with the dreaded PMS. This condition, similar to "cabin fever" is the acronym for Parked Motorcycle Syndrome.

in ill 43 sunney got trike out rode 85 miles i will sleep better tonight
Got in a few over 160 miles - started 46 deg & finished in 40. Took the trike up and around the "mountains" near Camp David, but didn't see the #1 man. Roads were nice and dry. I really needed that ride.
Am looking forward to the temp up another 10 to 15 degrees for really comfortable riding.

That 160 sounds good. I would have liked to have extended longer but had to get back to "the ranch" for another commitment. Oh well, maybe next time. I'm thankful for what I did get to "squeeze in".

I feel your pain, really The Boss took me out for a little ride yesterday dam near froze my nonass off. 64 degrees. Thing I noticed was it's colder on the back. After opening my big mouth about her shifting, taking curves too fast, and a few more constructive observations, she stopped and ordered me to drive. Noticed its a lot warmer up front. As we were getting ready to leave after lunch she didn't want to drive. I jumped on the back and wouldn't get off. After discussing the driving arrangements, she agreed to drive. Arrangements were; GET ON, SIT DOWN, NO TALKING. I don't think she happy with my observations, you think? . (Note to self keep my mouth shut) We had a very enjoyable ride home.
