The black bit is right where my house is. I know we needed rain, but it could've waited a few minutes  :(

jealous stev-o. its not that cold here, but its also not that warm...at all. for the FIRST time in my life I am missing warm/hot weather, and I've lived here in GA for 17 years and we have killer hot/humid summers. the motorcycle negates all of that. everything just melts away on a bike.

Saturday ride to Wimberly for lunch.
Stopped at onion creek. This is near the headwaters, during the October floods the water was about 12' above the road.
Was about 70 deg., Gonna be in the low 20's next couple days.

Makes me want to go for a ride.  Riding in eastern Oregon is hard to beat.

A couple weeks ago, there was a warm(ish) day, so took a ride.
Tried to get a pic with some snow in the background.
We rode out to a local State Park Rec area, and enjoyed the afternoon.

Temps in the -10 now...wind chills near -30+ for Omaha, NE.  Not sure I've got balls big enough to do a ride today!
No wait... I'm 100% sure I don't have balls that big.  ;)

Come on!  We're burning daylight!

Man that looks like fun.
When I was young I would ride all winter,snow, sleet , hail, didn't matter. Now I put them up when the weather is around 50 degrees. I wonder when I turned into such a puss.
A few Honda 500's, a few Honda 550's, a few Honda 650's, '72 cb 450, a couple 500/550/650 hybrids, and 2001 750.
