MODS: can you make the thread header blue or bold somehow?
Started the year again with a Polar Bear Ride from out local Cycle Gear shop. There were in excess of 200 bikes this year. Work got in the way but still did an intermediate ride. Let's kick off the hunt this year. Pretty simple. I'll post a "your bike and a ______" Go find what I listed and take a pic with your bike. Then post it with a "your bike and a ______" From today  So, next up: Your bike and donut shop. |

I really wish I had read this thread before we went out today.
We even pulled into the local FD station to shoot the breeze with a friend who was on duty. Today hit 60 degrees and we put another 200 miles on the Springer---not too bad for the middle of January! |

Waiting patiently for the target to be bike in the basement. The snow is still falling.
I used to ride in the snow on a little Kawasaki 440 when I was a teenager. Thankfully those days are behind me. |

Two ambulances earns you the right to pick the next photo op. I was about to change the picture requirement to something our northern brothers could handle but I see TEXAS came to the rescue |

No white stuff here but still too cold. Maybe someone will challenge for a picture of the bike in the garage...
As a sidebar, I'm seeing some pretty good to great deals for used bikes from private sellers. Depending on what he means by 'won't start' this might be a good spring project, just not for me because I'm out of room.  Attached File |

I was about to ask the same question! It's currently 63 and sunny and I've been itching to go for a little scoot......and when I checked the mail 10 minutes ago, I see that the county has finally gotten around to grading my road--and they've left a 2 foot-high pile of loose dirt/gravel in front of my driveway again.
 I can get my truck out, but there's no way I'm going to safely get the bikes or the cars out until I clear it.  Originally Posted By seca40: Target time called it.

Attached FileI have a mile of dirt road before I get to pavement--it's all loose, and from what I'm seeing, to a depth of almost 3 inches. This wouldn't be a problem for you guys with adventure or dirt bikes.....but I have 850 pound cruisers with only 4" of ground clearance.  Could I get out of here? Yeah, but I'm not gonna risk scraping frame and chrome......and Harleys don't exactly handle well in soft loose dirt. |
