Sounds like a good time to go for a ride (did you get the snow tires yet)
I bought the tires for the truck. Had snow once.  Did have a nice ride today though. Lots of sand on the roads. I would like to ride to my meeting tonight but the dangers outweigh the desire. |

the above opinion is simply that of an average middle aged hick with one too many brain injuries... or, don't take it too serious.

Took my Younger Brother out to teach him how to ride.... still needs lots of work, however he is getting more comfortable.
Need to help him find a good used bike for his first bike.

How can you moth ball it up? Every week there is at least one prime riding day. Today is going to be 52*! |

The mothballs are in socks and easily removable. The issue is there is a lot of sand here and my riding will be greatly limited due to it. I am actually thinking of a paddle this morning then taking The G for a ride this afternoon!
In how many decades?
I've owned it four years. |

I've owned it four years.
So this would be accurate then? 
I did wash my jacket for the second time in a decade.

I noticed that my rear brake was hanging up yesterday, so today I took the rearsets off and cleaned and greased the pivots on both sides of the bike. That's all...
