February ride in Minnesota! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

**Clint** · 02-05-2005, 05:09 PM

It was a rarely seen 48 degree sunny day, so I made damn sure I was home by 4 yesterday and I got 35 miles in. Didn't see another soul on two wheels. Today I saw a guy on a Nighthawk with several boxes strapped to the back end who I've seen a bunch of times.

I guess it's just us hardcore types this month. Okay, I'm really a wimp and am just pathetically desperate. Maybe the IMS in Minneapolis tomorrow morning will help.

I think we all understand when you takes what you can gets, when you can.

You only see the hardcore people this time of year in the south as well. At least in the northern part of texas that I live in.

It was 57 out today, so I rode my bike to work on my lunch break. It's going to be a bit chilly when I get off work tonight though. Luckily I live on base and don't have to drive very far.

Did about 6 miles yesterday (Feb 4). It was 38 degrees. Felt good to ride, but ....

Gixxerdale · 02-05-2005, 11:00 PM

It was sunny and near 80 today! BUT, I didn't ride one mile! Spent my day wrenchin on my old 69 Ford truck. It was fun though. I like working on the old school stuff.

So this must mean I need to double the miles for tomorrow. 800 miles? Hmmm..... could be a late day!

"Would you exchange a walk on part in a war, for a lead role in a cage?"

themeatmanlandry · 02-08-2005, 09:23 PM

I would . . . but cages are my thing, so . . .

themeatmanlandry · 02-08-2005, 09:24 PM

I take that back.

Would this cage be solitary confinement, or out in general population? I ain't going back into general population.
