Who is the Grinch who stole Spring? Weather in the Dakota's = 11 months of uncertainty and 1 month of extraordinary uncertainty. And to top that off, this is that '1' month. It has snowed here on the prairie--10 inches past two days and more in the forecast tonight. Tomorrow. and the 3 days following. Floods to the East; it is more like Lake Dakota along the James River (flowing South) and the Red River (North Dakota; flowing N). The extra snow will give them another slug of run-off to areas overwhelmed with water. It has almost been riding wx a couple of days--I have cycled the bikes home from cold storage to home to storage 3x. IT is beginning to feel a little like Ground Hog Day-movie. and Overwhelmed with the dearth of 'list' ride reports as well. Judging by the list traffic, no-one else seems to be riding as well. Maybe they are 'pimping' their ride? While looking at digital tire pressure gages, I find this: http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=162 Here is one farkle that I bet NOBODY has on their KLR. At least nobody has admitted to this usable, 'pimp' device. Although I think it is OEM on Gold Wings, BMW and some HD. revmaaatin.
