    morning gents.
    doesn't look like I'm going to be able to "skip out" today, too much work to take that big a chunk of the day off.
    maybe next time.
    have a great ride.

    sorry, would love to get out, but it's a big chunk of the day... I'd have to leave here by 11:30, and wouldn't be back til 5pm in all liklihood... can't quite wangle that today, but another time I will.

    What kinda work situation you in?

    Chomper is self employed. When it's sunny and warm, all of his customers have to wait for him to finish his ride.

    Lucky dog.

    when to put bike back on the road...

    I was going to insure the bike this weekend, but looks like the weather isn't going to cooperate.....hmmmm. How about anyone else on here, when will your bike be insured again for the riding season? Also, has there been any plans on local rides coming up?
