Its been snowy and cold over here and I haven't been able to ride until today. I left this morning to put a couple of hours in at work. I didn't realize it had snowed in town last night and things had just started getting melty by the time I got to town. This made shady spots interesting for sure. Any way made it in to work and back with out any excitement. I did notice I was the only bike on the road all the "real" bikes stayed home today. Like they say some people ride motorcycles and others own them. I ride mine. How bout you? Did you get a ride in? At any rate here's to a safe (and warm) 2013. Also I have been kickin around trading the Burgman in. It's easy to dream about other scooters when you can't ride your. The Burgman ran sweet today I can tell you I can't see myself on another scoot after today it just felt great. Man I needed that Blessings Rob

I haven't riden yet this year either.... I rode on a group ride on sunday, but that was the last time the scoot has been out of it's warm garage.... Other then testing a scooter I was working on for a friend (not the same thing)
I hope to get it out some this weekend. Maybe even another group ride on Saturday.

I've ridden several times already this year in sub-30's weather (no snow yet... fairly uncommon in VA). I can't not ride. This is most certainly some type of addiction! I'm thinking hard about tires, though; after I slipped and almost dropped her on a tiny puddle after going on a lean-angle corner, I think I need some high-grip tires. Ride on, EFF the cold!

The Michelin City Grips I just put on mine are nice I used to slip a bit when the tires were cold on the Bridgestone but not anymore. Tomorrow it will be near 0 degrees in the morning when I leave for work. I think I will test the limits of my gear tomorrow...
Get out and ride guys!
Oh and thanks Richard may your year be full of blessings maybe this year a Burgman will find its way into your garage I schemed and worked hard for 9 months last year to get mine finally got my project car ready to sell and then I had it. There is always a way...
