This year here in N.E. TX we have been relatively lucky for the winter. We have had lots of days in excess of 60°F and here lately we have been getting 70°F+ temps during the day, so I've had very little down time in my riding this winter. Tomorrow and Saturday we are supposed to hit close to the 80°F mark.

The only problem with such a mild winter for us though is this year we are most likely going to have lots of issues with insects since we did not have a good freeze at all this winter. Guess I'm gonna have to keep the bug cleaner handy this year to keep the visor and windshield clean. ::)

Spotty riding time here in Missouri. 50 degrees one day, thirty-five the next, but I'm getting out! The hills are starting to show some green and the itch to get out is growing! Thinking I might need to get some more work done on the bike now, before the heavy season is upon us! Still great therapy, but the balky knees are already barking at me. Thinking of putting the peg extensions on, along with changing front tire and putting the cam chain mod in.

I think I'm still a couple weeks away from my 1st ride. I put a new mustang seat on the C50, so i'm anxious to try that out. The S40 is getting ready for a new paint job. Still haven't decided on a color.
