Still raining here in the Garden State. Makes work interesting. I think I'm growing mold on my feet though. Hoping for sun and a day off to coincide.

I'm heading to Florida and it is not to the BEACH. I heard the BEACH is a BAD
for my health. I'm not taking the scoot but a damned old truck. Why couldn't I have got this load last winter? Now you see how my luck goes. Have Fun and RIDE SAFE

Howsit, I think you better check your blood pressure. Even Kpapa knows how unhealthy it is to go to the beach, but I'll bet they'll be wondering what those truck tire tracks are doing on the Florida beaches next week. Hah!

Jazzman, either you're luckier than the rest of us, or you're paying your rain tax (and you thought you were just living right, right?).

I'm Back from Florida. Not even close to a beach. Had to get back for trip to Wisconsin tomorrow. Maybe I will see a beach on Lake Michigan. The way the weather has been, there is probably still ice on the lake. Wish these miles were on the scoot.

AtD: So much for running local and being home every night. One of his long haul drivers quit so I was elected to fill in. I forgot how much I hate running over the road. Have Fun and RIDE SAFE

Me and Kpapa keep telling you how unhealthy the beach is, howsit. Check out my last entry in the Buell thread. Jazzman and Kpapa, don't read that one cuz you're married.

I have a question, I purchased a set of "gauntlets" for winter riding and they are not as good as i thought they would be. My dear skin gloves do just as well as far as keeping my fingers from frosting over. I was told to check with the Bike units of a Police department. They say they have all the lowdowns on how to make these gauntlets weather proof and warm. Any ideas from our loyal readers? Drop me a line cuz the temps are droppin'.... Roll on ya'all.... Hawg out.

The only thing the gauntlets do is keep the wind and rain from running up yer sleeves. Find a light glove liner, to wear inside the glove. If they are too tight, the insulation compresses, and they don't do as well. I get cold fingers easy, so just run heated gloves. You can also find heated glove liners.
