Stupid here - dumber than mud but the kids and the business are here; however, the weather and roads are great in the warmer months. This year's global warming does tend to drive you crazy, though.

In two weeks the bike goes on the trailer and we are on our way south till the snow is gone here. Can hardly wait. Next year think we will leave earlier.
Looking for warmth and sun with no shoveling

Every area has it's faults.
Here in Mn it's cold in the winter, but we don't have wildfires, hurricanes, mud slides,earthquakes, Tornado's (seldom) ungodly heat & humidity (At least not very often) or over crowding
And when it's spring-fall here the riding can't be beat. Beautiful scenery, weather, great roads to take a trip on. etc.
If you're into skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing etc. The winter is a blast.
If you hate winter, don't stay here, lol

Us who choose to stay home and suffer!
Although it is 50F right now and I have a few ponds in my yard. Can you believe that; 75 degrees warmer than it was 10 or so days ago.
Spring MUST be here!
Global Warming??? I am all for it.
We just got back from FL. Two weeks over the Holidays every year breaks the winter up so I can survive. We ride down, left here at 28 degrees came back at 32, today it is 4. I worked down south for five years but got Pittsburgh pay. When the company came back North I tried to stay but the money is up here. Wages down south are terrible. I guess they have to pay more to get people to live in a place like this.

Washing Bike with Garden Hose
General MC Message BoardOpinions or experiences on washing the GL1800 with low pressure garden hose sprayers? I'm thinking to try this for the outer painted parts (not the driver's zone or interior areas). I'd use a light spray just to wet and float away dirt; no high pressure blasting except maybe down in the lower...- 39

Pennsylvania State police ticketing drivers
General MC Message BoardSeems the State police in PA are ticketing drivers for "non" essential driving. There have been multiple cases where people were pulled over and asked where they were going. They told the LEO that they were just out for a drive with no particular destination. They were cited! You can go for a...- 3

Observation from wife after LED conversion
General MC Message BoardAfter installing Pathfinder LED headlamps, turn signals/DRLs, and DRL/fog lights, I was curious how all of these bright lights appear to oncoming drivers and those driving in front of me. I asked my wife to drive in front of me for a few miles yesterday, and then go down the street, turnaround...- 18

Brand New Tire Blow Out - Hot Rim
General MC Message BoardI blew out an almost brand new tire yesterday on average ride I've done plenty of times before. Tire had less than 1000 miles on it. The rim and tire were extremely hot. My first guess is that the brake caliper did not open fully and the brakes were slightly engaged which caused the rim to heat...- 17
