Now for Something Completely Different

That's a shame.....maybe just a sign of the times. I lived in Central Florida for a while, years and years ago. (Forest City, and Casselberry) It was 1965...I bought a little Honda S90, and rode all over that part of the state.

Have some very fond memories of those days....gasoline for $.22 a gallon, a plain burger at McDonalds for $.15, and another $.15 would get ya an order of fries.....And of course, being 17 years old, with a brand new Honda.......Boy, what I wouldn't give to go....well, you know

You're making me feel EVEN older! I got out of the service & got married in 1965. If someone thinks that it's too cold to ride , they didn't spend most of their life in New England! It's NEVER too cold to ride! I finally stopped riding in the winter because I set my street bike up for the Drags. I couldn't get traction on a dry road so winter was out! Irish
P.S. In case you're adding. I graduated High School at 17 & had my folks sign me into the service about two months later! in 1965 I was 21.

It's so cold that frozen lizards are falling out of trees.

Hasn't gotten above freezing for 2 weeks now so not doing much riding.
What's the weather like where your at and have you been on any riding adventures?

The ice is so bad on the roads here, and the temps are hanging in the low 20's with wind chills near zero! The weather is supposed to warm-up mid-week and I will be back on the Burgman. Left over road salt always makes brake service work extra enjoyable no matter how often I rinse the calipers. Adventure is not ride related. I took the stupid kitten out to show him snow and he took off in 1 foot of snow and vanished for 2 days! He came back (he does know the 'hood) dirty with fleas so I think he hid under a house to stay warm with feral cats.

Road is covered with chemicals so the bike is covered waiting for warmer weather.
Sorry about the cat.

Heat wave coming! I should be able to ride by Wednesday! I dont worry about the left over salt/thawing chems getting on the Burgman, I just rinse my front and rear calipers when I park it at work and get back home. That thawing stuff made my front Helix caliper so corroded. Lesson learned I think. Now I will not take the Spyder out till the roads are clean. That thing is way to complicated and hard to clean, and kinda fragile. The Zuma is my baby and will remain protected from the horrible realities of life! And the dumb cat did return.

Warm enough for a moonlight ride. Woo Hoo...
