Too cold to ride so I'll bitch about my car
« on: November 22, 2013, 08:53:48 PM »
My 2000 Honda Odyssey is in the shop today, pretty sure it's the transmission.  Dam I was hoping to hit 400K.

Normal is boring.

I like to ride in the extream cold just for the looks I get.

300K miles on 1 tranny isn't half bad!

It's dropping into the single digits tonight, brrr think I'm about to drop into hibernation.  I am too cold to even think scooters.

This will likely replace the minivan.  Cheap, safe and slightly underpowered, perfect for two teenage drivers.   :)

Cool!
Your 6 trumps my 14 ~!
Isn't this a miserable contest!
(I learned this - do NOT take off your gloves to take pictures! or this....pack some chemical handwarmers in case you're dumb enought to take your gloves off! My little scoot will not support heated grips.)
As they say : when the extremities get cold, you are finished riding.(I was about 1.5 miles from my warm kitchen!)

Well the minivan is gone and a civic is parked in the driveway... was sad to see her go.

So the weather is crappy and I spent the weekend decluttering, went to the recycler and shredded 180 pounds of receipts and cancelled checks and crap.

While digging through the boxes I found some fun old pictures, here's one from 1987 of my bike and apartment in Pacific Beach CA, three blocks to the beach.  I printed it out and taped it to my office wall... game plan is to move back  in two years screw this winter stuff.   :)

That blue area to the left in your weather map is  s n o w, right?
You would not dare post seaside pictures in front of all us snowbound scooter-riding people would you?!
How does one contact the moderator on this site?!
