    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    TOOT 5 min commute in 22 mins!

    (guess I'll have a firsthand account of just how well the Road 2's deal with the wet. They're supposed to be terrific, but we'll see...)

    w0...brrrrrrr...0t

    Well that was fun. Forgot to get gas this morning when it was nice and warm, almost got creamed leaving the parking lot, the visor didn't have a fog issue it was the pile up of snow that made for a blurry ride home.

    Re: Woot! Riding I the snow

    Driving home tonight, as I always do with the first snow.... too many stoooopid fuxers out there. I feel much safer in 7000 pounds of truck than I do on a bike during the first snow....
    Thanks, Jim

    That's really all that was on the ground, so they were fine. Not like I was going that fast or riding aggressively though

    My clear glasses what I wear under the helmet started fogging up & so between seeing around them and constantly clearing snow off of my face shield, the worst part of the drive was just not being able to see.

    So, I just booked an appointment to have a heat-ray installed.
