Merry Christmas biker blues

[JamesP]

Merry Christmas everyone; hope you can spend at least some of the day with loved ones!

Gotta admit to a bit of the 'biker blues' however. I'm in northern Utah at an elevation of around 6000 ft and mother nature insists on snowing....and blowing....and in short being quite rotten with respect to ridding a bike.

I took my Tri-glide out last week for about a half hour....not too bad as it was a sunny day in the 30's. Got a bit brazen then and took my Indian scout out for about the same length of ride; no fairing, open wind. Holly Hanna that was dumb; took hours to warm up.

One would think that as we grow older we would grow wiser.......I continue to get brain freeze whenever I have a milk shake or some other cold drink however......so much for the wiser theory.

All the best; James P.

Merry Christmas to you also, living here in Iowa it sits all winter, once I put it up the jack it stays there all winter until spring, just me, I do seen people out riding but at my age the cold bothers me, sometimes getting older but still do some dumb things, trying to live my old days I guess when I was dumb and stupid, LOL

All for now Trampas
