At least a week.

After the oil change, the tin foil slips onto the head very easily for alien free riding...

I already have my helmet lined. Can never be too safe.

Agreed....

4. drive forward 5 or 10 feet
5. go back to step 2, repeat 20 times
6. tell the wife it's safe to get off the back.

Now I really have to get rid of the work bench at the back of the garage...

You wish that's as cold as it got...



Try getting out on two wheels just off the 10 degree mark...

Ed, you're not allow to store your bike away for the winter until I do...I was just out riding yesterday when it was maybe in the low 40's...mid november, or first "real" snowfall...

I took the DPH out for a putt today. Wasn't too long. Got a late start, wanted to be home before dark. Supposed to be nice the next few days, but I fear that it will be dark close to the time I get home. We'll have to see how next weekend pans out, most likely.
