cannot ride, might as well post
« on: November 26, 2014, 11:29:47 PM »
Scoot is all cleaned up, clean oil, tuned, new rear tire "nail", under cover.
It is cold, snowy, windy, and rain.

It is KILLING me. I want to ride!.
I have cold weather gear but, these conditions are much.

I know what you mean.  Mine are in the Garage too.  All put away....Every year I put the snow blade on my Craftsman Tractor,  the bikes in the shed and the tractor in front of my car.  This year I haven't.  Besides that,  the bike is $6.00/wk. for Gas,  Car is $26.00.

Come on man, pull that nail, dip it in some rubber cement and put it back in, pump it up and ride to the nearest auto parts or tire repair place for a plug. Unscrew the screw or pull the nail and your golden.

Ride baby ride!

My buddies in Oz. are gearing up for spring. My bud's up north, are setteling in for winter, and I just put on a long sleve shirt cause it's getting chilly. (50ish)

For a small world it sure has a lot of rooms.

Last week we had 8 inches of snow. Last 3 days, the temps have been up in the high 40s and low 50s, so all of that white nastiness is gone! I got to ride the last 2 days - it was like a breath of fresh air to get out of the big F-150 and not hear that gas sucking sound coming from the engine. My little Lance was just sipping tiny bits of gas! I sure hope your weather improves so you can get some riding time in the near future. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I pulled the nail and plugged with sticky rope. Rode it that way for a month while waiting for a new tire to come in. The plug held good and did not leak. The tire had 8000+ miles on it so I decided to put a new one on.

Winter weather really sucks, Boo! Guess that's why so many head to the south latitudes for the winter (which has not done so good for warm wx for the last few years!). Have heart and be brave, this too, shall pass!

Here,  when the rain clears, it usually gets bitter cold again.  But today the rain stopped,  and it's 60 degrees!! I'm definitely getting out asap and riding until my butt is numb!
A bit more wind than I like,  but I guess you have to choose your battles!

We're hitting freezing Temps for the next few days here in the PanHandle.

Time to bring in the yard dogs, and stay toasty warm.

Wow.  And I'm fretting Wednesday when we're supposed to have twenty mile per hour winds and a low of seven degrees!
