Rare winter day

[Warchild]

What a crap winter we got going on here in the Columbia Basin of southeastern Washington state- constant fog, freezing rain, or the best of both worlds: freezing fog. Low temps are never an excuse not to ride, but low temps and high humidity will keep the garage door closed for me every time.

But last Saturday, a very rare 45-degrees F and blue-sky sunshine day, hell yeah, got that S1000XR to crank out a short 100-mile dash around the Basin - first time since November the bikes have been out! We are now back to foggy, freezing temps - but Saturday was awesome!

Come on, summer!

Was hoping for same on the wetside, but foothill dense fog and mid 30s kept bikes in the garage. Not worth the risk to hit a shady slick spot! Nice looking XR Warchild!

Just go south for the winter.

Last Saturday it was -35° out, I blew the transmission on the truck, the starter motor on the car was frozen and the battery on the snowmobile died. The best I could do was sit on the bike in the garage making vroom-vroom noises. I'd be happy with a little freezing fog.

Feel better?
