What happen to February?

First event...one week away! Now that the power is f-i-n-a-l-l-y back on after Wednesday's NorEaster, time to plug the Battery Tenders back in and get going.
Hopefully, Deep River will be defrosted by next Sunday...
SR
-
Battery is in along with wiring for new heated gear :grin: :grin:. Started and went ten miles or so yesterday! If we could get a good rain to wash off the salt and it would stop snowing every couple of days life would be great. By the way, WATCH OUT FOR BRANCHES HANGING OR LEANING IN THE ROAD. Was up by you today Steve on Boardman and almost hit one with my truck. Hit one last week with my trailer. Would really suck to hit one while on a bike. See ya next week.
-
I'll be coming with the Toyota.
I can't get the Guzzi out of the back yard unless I buy some flotation gear . It's a little soupy back fhere..
See you there

Looks like we'll get through with it before the next Nor'Easter hits!
SR

Tom just put some knobby tires on the Vert and gas it! You'll get somewhere.
-
Hmnnn...I live 20 miles from Keene. Any riding that day or is it a cookout at the dam?

I was wondering the something.
Had a blast at the national up there so I'm going regardless.. Staying at the same B&B as last trip.

Wish I could join you, Gerry. You folks will have a blast. Jim and Matt going, too?

Jim,
I wish you could join us too, I believe Jim may go but I'm not sure about the others at this point.
Gerry
-
I may try to go to the Keene thing, but I'm not sure yet. Family obligations and/or getting asked to work at the shop when others go to events are the primary reasons. But then, I'm a different Matt.
(Hamlin's has two Matts, two Adams, a Jim, and an Andy)
