393 miles for me today.

got to test the electric gear and it worked great Even at 25 deg and doing 80 on the slab.

for all you who didn't come out, well that's your tuff luck.

and nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Dr Mikey.

well I'm now going to try to post picks but not being a techno geek it'll take me some time.

It wasn't the cold stopped me, I had the heated gear all laid out. I went to bed at midnight, set the alarm for 5:30.  Unfortunately I've been having trouble sleeping since my mom died, and this happened to be 'one of those' nights, where I couldn't fall asleep 'til nearly 4. When the alarm went off I was in no condition to arise.  So I went to church later, then played pool at Romine's until/during the Badger game.

I knew you'd all be having a great ride.

grr! my bike's in the shop...

  Maybe later I can post up some pics of the guys ice racing on lake Winnebago.  I'm too lazy  right now.

Ah damn that's what that sound was! I should have gone over there. You could hear that from Mr Soup's house.

It's alright BJ. We'll keep scheduling coffee meets. We'll see you out there this spring/summer when the time is right. Take Care.

woke up far too hungover to swing my leg over the T-Cat.  I did ride around town today for an hour or two.  Even tho I didn't make it, I did wind up making out with some cutie at the bar who had a very nice behind.    Hope you guys had fun.

Here is a shot from the 1st stop...


And at Mud Creek


I have one hour of video I thought the camera shut itself of after 10 minutes.   The first clip went 50 minutes and then turned off, and the second went ten and then the memory card was filled.

Do not know what will become of it, but Mxvet57 and Lurker you are the stars of the the long one and there are many good parts.  If you send me your e-mail I will forward the movie file to you.

Sure we've all thought of doing something like this (or not) but only DavidLSI is the only one to actually put his idea into action. Prepare to be amazed (or dumbfounded):

Power Converter:

Heating Pad from Wallgreens:

Plug heating pad into power converter:


Apply Wallgreens heating pad directly to your gut to combat gut coldness while riding:


 

Great job David!

This working late into the night shit is seriously starting to get on my nerves!  I was all set to go to this coffee meet but having forgotten to set the alarm I didn't wake up until about 9:30 am.  

Oh well, there will be more coffee meets and chances to get lost.

Looks like you all had a fun time. I was up in the dells swimming in the nice indoor water park all weekend,that weather was perfect!!!  

[Fourstring]

Looks like it was a great ride!  Wish I could have made it.

I can't wake up before 10 most days, and I was hungover anyway.

Great job David!

  Thanks...

See a need meet the need.  I must report that it worked great, I left thehouse at 5:30 am and 26 degrees.  I took the highway up the whole way and was amazed at how well it worked.

Real electric gear is on my wish list but, I can't let the lack of this stop the riding....

Do you cut a 2nd electric blanket in twain for your pants?

There is thread out there were a guy did take an electric blanket, remove the heating element.  Then he sewed the heating element into a riding vest.

There are alot of us MacGyver wanna bees out there....
