Had a nice "Winter" shakedown ride on my El Guapo this weekend here in Savannah.

I build stuff.
Did someone say something?
After ridIng on Tuesday in the 70s which was after sledding in the 30s on Saturday, I was ready to do some work on my day off on Thursday, then it got cold again. Ugh. This big red blanket and my gas logs blazing don't make me want to go out in the shop... all alone.

I spy a cycle truck head badge laying on the chest behind the seat.
We've had a real winter this year in CT. I have not gone this long without riding in years. It's getting to me.
On the plus side though, I'm getting a lot of house work done. I re-did my downstairs bathroom, painted the master bedroom, and am now starting on a kitchen re-fresh.
the wife is happy.

Happy Wife = Happy Life. As for the rollover it really depends on if you base it on a monthly calendar or some sort of calendar that she controls... :?

Posted this over on the other cold weather thread but thought it worked here as well...
I feel sorry for you guys, the kind of weather you are talking about is just crazy!
Over here in Australia I am having the opposite problem, we have had some days over 110F and today was not so bad at 104F, still could not work on my bikes because the sun will cook you in a matter of minutes, had to wait till the sun was down to work tonight, trying to avoid falling behind on my "Muscle bike build off" bike. My wife came outside and snapped a picture about 10:30pm...

It is a 90/90/16 motorbike tire, works out the same height as a standard 26inch mountain bike tire, the rim is a narrowed car rim measuring 16x3.5...bike2112 said:

we got nailed with a nor'easter here in massachusetts. 20 inches and huge snowdrifts. this pic ( hard to tell but my beard is frozen solid :lol: ) is when i just came in from shoveling and snowblowing. the backyard was bare ground before the storm. the fence in the distance is a 4 foot tall chain link ( that is a full sized park bench peeking thru the snow too ). its still snowing and drifting so we came in to thaw out and have some breakfast. im reeeeeeally anxious for spring!!!
Oh man you guys got hit hard.
That is a lot of snow! :shock:
