Last Horah for the Northern Season? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

bat4255 · 11-07-2004, 07:57 AM

Yard work done and Temp was 65 degrees F., sunny and calm. We just did a 140 mile casual ride yesterday and got back at 5:30 in the dark. A lot of bikes out there yet.
Last year on Nov 8th, 2" of ice on the pond and 11 degrees, I put mine to bed for the season. This year, we should make it untill Thanksgiving (Nov 27).

It is nice to squeeze in an extra ride or two before the white stuff invades the area and we have to get out the sleds..........

I got out for an hour yesterday. It was in the 60's. Good stuff.

Today it's 39* and I have work to do. I think I'm done for the year.

About 77(f) at the moment... forcast is for mid-60's to low 70's rest of the week, 60's all next week. We may get a bit of snow. Sometime around February

The temperature this evening is predicted to be around 35°F, and the snow level is dropping to about 600 meters. My house is at 450 meters, so it won't be snowing tonight, but will probably be a bit icy tomorrow morning.

They are predicting snow everywhere around here by the middle of the week.

My 14'er is sleeping ...

Had a nice day but tonight it below freezing. Anyway, the bike is stored.

Edit: Fixed typo.

muahaha, it never ends for us western folk! This morning it must have been a whole 60 degrees because it was feeling a bit nippy

Just got done washing and waxing and lubing the chain.

I think I may be a little sunburned..........
