took a bit of coaxing to get her to start but she did and purred like a kitten...
It's a good thing it's buried in the back of the garage with no current tag on the plate. lol

It’s easy to make it snow! Just move to MN! Few days into spring, and we are forecasting 8-10” of heavy snow.

Dude, you're too close to me to make it snow. It would just be yet another nor'easter that would roll over me and then hit you......

lol. the last 3 we've had were extremely disappointing. I love a good nor easter when we get dumped on with 3 or 4 feet of snow.BikeMaine wrote:Dude, you're too close to me to make it snow. It would just be yet another nor'easter that would roll over me and then hit you......

Re: I'm going to make it snow tomorrow.
-20c right now. I’d rather have snow than this. Windchill of -33c in the forecast today. The Great Plains, land of extremes.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: I'm going to make it snow tomorrow.
I'm not complaining. The CX650E based winter machine died in Jan so when the end of Feb came around and the snow was gone and the ground still frozen I took the 'Wing out of its winter storage shed early. I won't drive it unless the sun is shining and everything is dry until I'm sure they have stopped salting the roads but that has only kept me from going out when I wanted to a few times in the last month.
Today is one of those days: We had wind, rain & snow yesterday evening & overnight (zero accumulation) and its about +2c now but the Weather Network says its going to snow starting at 2:10 PM and ending at 2:40 PM (Really? They can predict that precisely?)(more likely it will wither rain or snow all afternoon & evening). But it also says we have a wind warning and the wind is currently 54 Km/h with 82 gusts (listening to it blow and seeing the trees in our yard moving, I believe that) so I probably wouldn't have gone out on the winter machine today either....
