Hi everyone! Happy new year. to cold here in buffalo to ride, 23 at 8:00 so i'll just look at some bikes and dream of spring, or a warmer winter day.

They should have a Cycle show around you soon.

Either it will prolong the agony or make it worse. Also the boat shows in your area I think next week!!! mmm chicks in swim suits, warmth

Get yourself a windshield and throw your fists to the wind man!
23F!?! That's no excuse.

Back up to 55-60 degrees mon & tues I'll need to get the battery back in the bike and take off for a while!

which reminds me, rock, when's the bike show at the Rosemont?

Isn't that in a couple of weeks? Like the Saturday after the superbowl?

I know it's before the auto show.

This one? 2/8-2/10

Chicago Show Facts - Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows

I forgot, it's the "stephens center"

Named after the 1st ( of 2) mayors of Rosemont. Right down the street from the united center and the airport.

Thanks Thunderburd.

sometimes i'm just too lazy. Good thing I post here.

Rockhead · 01-03-2008, 10:00 PM

Im gonna be at the boat show friday or saturday at McCormick 19th.

If you come into town let me know I'll come.

omegajim · 01-03-2008, 10:46 PM

The bike show and the auto show are bad enough.....

don't need to go to the boat show (yeah, sure buddy, you can afford this, if you win the lottery)

Sure rock, I'll let you know.

We'll plan out something.

Just went to the NYC version of the Motorcycle show. Very worthwhile and gets us northern tier riders through the winter blues.

COME ON SPRING!

tricker · 01-04-2008, 08:27 PM

*wishing for spring*

omegajim · 01-04-2008, 10:35 PM

don't wish for something, live with what you got.

We got snow, work on other stuff. There's always other stuff to work on.

Like posting here!

WindBreaker · 01-11-2008, 02:47 PM

Yes, there's a time for everything. Just ain't a very good time to ride a bike right now.......!
I live in Sweden, (We DON'T have polar bears on the streets) and it CAN get quite cold sometimes in winter.
The way I see it, this is a time to do those things you don't have the time to do in the middle of summer!
And perhaps dream of next summer??

SouthernRider · 01-11-2008, 07:14 PM

basking in the heat here 94 degF....too hot to ride

omegajim · 01-11-2008, 08:12 PM

That's right, New Zealand is Mid Summer now.

and 94 F is getting too hot to ride. It's time to get in the car and turn on the air.

tricker · 01-11-2008, 11:01 PM

pffff 94 isn't too hot..

omegajim · 01-12-2008, 09:49 AM

I'm getting picky....

used to drive when it cracked 40, don't anymore.

used to drive no matter how hot it got, don't do that anymore either.

Driving on a hot day isn't bad; driving home in the afternoon after being out on the hot manufacturing floor sweating my but off, then driving the bike home is kind of annoying.
