Stig is going to skip a dawn rain ride~!
« on: January 18, 2025, 04:03:53 AM »


I simply do not want to subject my electric gloves to that much rain and those temps! I have two pair....but neither are waterproof....and no way can I ride with wet hands in those temps. Plus, might get caught out miles from home if snow arrives.
I ride in the 20's, and in the rain....but, think I'll stay home tomorrow. There is still 5 or 6" of snow on the road sides.
Bummer!
Might be my longest period off the scooter.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Looks like a really great decision, Stig! Ham radio is a great hobby on days like this!

I have a friend that I haven't seen in ages, was very active on the 2 meter band

is it true that you don't need to do code anymore?
