Just a short spin, but enlivening.

Brrrrrrr!!!! :coffee:

You could have at least put your windshield on!!

Whats with the first pic? A no parking sign and a enclosed notice board that you need to stop and read?

Thank you,

Nah. Windscreens are for sissies Tom  :evil: :evil: :evil:
The picture is at a boat launch. The no parking sign is so that numbnuts don't park so that others can't launch their boats (or snowmachines).
The stop sign is a reminder to clean your boat if you've been on a different water system to stop the spread of zebra muscles and other invasive species.

I finally got out on the K75 yesterday. Only 20 miles or so, but it sure felt good!   :smiley:

Big snow squall just dumped an inch-plus all over everything this morning.
I wasn't planning on going anywhere today anyway....

Most of the driveway is dry and firm enough now for even the big bikes;
some parts are still quaggy.

We attended a wake for a fellow rider.  I thought I was brave out there at 24 degrees, but there were already 20 bikes when I arrived.

Nice pictures you got there.  Thank you for sharing them.

Man, after a long cold winter, that looks like warm weather.  Spring is THE cure for cabin fever + motorcycles.  My wife and I loved to finally get riding time like that in VT once the roads cleared up from salt & ice.  And the trend is generally warmer, so each day tends to gets better which means riding season has begun.. 

Great pics, Nick.
