I usually can ride most of the winter, but the cold set in earlier, and that's how long it's been since I rode. We didn't go below zero, but it stayed cold all winter. As Spring progressed, March was much colder than usual. I think we've had maybe 3 days over 70 so far this year. None were on weekends. I've been at work a lot, too. The KLR is sitting with a flat rear tire, so I have to fix that (might as well replace the Cheng Shin C858 at the same time) Looks like my first ride of the year will be in California. Leaving Friday, first thing will be to check on the KLR in the shed at my wife's house. It will be a full year again, so I'm wondering if that AGM battery still has any juice. It did last year. Meanwhile, the KLR, Sherpa, ZRX, and Ninja 650 are still in hibernation.

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. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
