....I'm going to go friggin ape ****!!!

It's been 2 weeks since I've ridden the big blue girl and this cabin fever is about to drive me bonkers!! Right now, our weather sucks!!!!!

I dunno how your great white northerners put up with this crap for 4+ months a year!!

I swear, when I wake up tomorrow, if the weather is anything less than tornadic, I'm gearing up and heading out!

Thanks - I feel much better now.

 
Sunny and 60 tomorrow in my little corner of the GWN.

I'll be heading to WV for the day, need to run a tank of

gas through the Blue Mule.

 
Put some studs on that thing and go and learn how to crash a motorcycle.

It's been no rain for months now. 75ish degrees and absolutely no humidity. I've been riding so much my *** hurts and I have to jump in the car every once in a while.

Sorry! Couldn't resist! Insert "Yeah! I'm being an *******" Smiley (Here).

Today it is clear blue skies in Seattle with a high of about 41. In shaded areas the H20 is frozen. Not a good deal if the road has a weep and you are in a shaded corner. In a month or so I will venture out.

I don't feel too bad about all this. The Zonies are freezing too. At Beemerdon's casa, in Chandler AZ, the high today was 48 and the low was 25.

Belize is calling.....

 
I hate to remove any chances of Pants getting sympathy but he did not mention the temperature. While it has been raining down here non stop for several days, it has not been cold. The high temp the last few days has been above 70 degrees F. But it has rained like a...Nevermind. It has rained so much that I saw an old man with a big wooden boat loading up the animals two by two. The road I have to use to get out of here is under Destruction. I would not attempt it on anything without knobby tires right now. A significant amount of low level flooding is happening. Why these folks are upset when it floods is baffling to me. I mean, they built in the swamp...

Pants I hope you have a great ride tomorrow. All three of us have the flu right now and the bike is just not appealing to me when I can't stop coughing.

This comment reminds me of

routine called Noah from the 1960's. Darn funny especially the part of about raining for 30 days and 30 night and waiting for the sewers to back up.
 
Here's the plan: head for the pan handle first thing in the morning, and hang a right. By mid afternoon, you'll be enjoying low 80's and wall to wall sunshine. I'll be out riding most of the day: gotta get some more miles on this CT to see how long it can last. 20k thus far and still plenty of tread. Weather man says we're not gonna see even a small chance of rain until the middle of next week. Times like this I can almost forgive the relative lack of curves around here.

I understand you, cabin feet can get the best of you. Yet we have to add the temps true of at lest 3 towns together to come to high 70's.... My street, and subsequently backyard didn't see any sunlight because of the 100' towering evergreen trees which surround our neighborhood...so street 'n all stood frozen.....can't wait for February to come, got me already a few rides lined up....

Definite case of cabin fever setting in...only known cure is a ride -- any kind of ride!

Hope you get out before it gets any worse, 'pants.

For sure...28 when i got home at 3:30 today. All the shaded backroads are covered in ice and sand. At least the county road crews plowed my street this time.

All we need is a nice warm rain to clean things up and it's ride time!

I rode today is was below freezing and clear, shaded areas and parking lots another story, butt pucker

Yeah Redfish, I'm familiar with that much rain. It ain't pretty. I was stuck in the house for a whole weekend once because of it. It Sucks!!

(full disclosure: I would not have been out except it was a Veteran PGR Friend's funeral 200mi away)

I was out riding last Sunday in medium rain and 45F, but my gear did it's job and it wasn't too bad. The worse was I kept figuring it would get better in the next 10 miles...well, 150 miles later, it finally did.
