From my deck this evening....

I guess I won't be running the Hot Rod at the drag strip tomorrow night.  :'(

It should be illegal to post pictures like that before December.  Sorry to hear the weather sucks where you are too.

I feel for you Art...but...I have to fly to Green Bay on Saturday morning and ride a VStrom home to Boston...1200 miles in 2 days in +40F temps...not looking forward to that...oh well nothing can be done now.

I hope you get another drag strip ride in before December.

cheers

Bummer dude. Anchorage AK was sunny and mid 40s today.  I've taken to just putting 2 bucks of gas at a time.  i keep waiting for that great white hammer to fall.  A dude down the street from me rides all year round, he pulls out his trike for the winter.

If it makes you feel any better I bought my first bike about five weeks ago and I've seen four or five dry days since then (very out of character for Tulsa in the fall).
