Winter Syndrome

[ghost]

I'm having a tough Winter.

Perhaps it's an undiagnosed ailment - symptomatic of to much sea air, evergreen vapors and overly filtered sunlight, exacerbated by a lack of cigar smoke, highway food and camp chatter ? Combined, that's bound to be debilitating....messes with a fella's feign shei [sic]

You know, doctors are addressing some winter-related syndromes with light therapy.

I have to believe that motorcyclists also suffer from some kind of depravation syndrome - I've heard of cases where the patient goes to the garage, puts on a helmet and sits on the bike, making "motorcycle" noises whilst rotating the right hand grip ! [ Advanced cases, sometimes, drool ]

In other, actual, clinically-documented instances, the sufferer has been observed to pour incessantly over maps, sigh at inappropriate moments during conversations [ esp. nattering of a significant other ], or to just stare out an open window for prolonged periods of time....some spend long lost hours on motorcycle internet forums looking for solace from fellow sufferers, gasp !

Well, I received my new Aerostitch catalog yesterday, and I KNOW I've got some kinda syndrome...

I'm gonna try self-medication. I'm gonna try a combination of Holistic Therapys - Auditory [ the sound of an unfettered 650 single ], Aroma Therapy - [ the smells of late Winter/early Spring in the Coastal Range ] and the salty, greasy, gastronomic joy of a Quarter Pounder With Cheese.

Although, I'm sure this will take several applications, I'll let you know the results

I'll be medicating with a small and temporary elixer tomorrow: The International Motorcycle Show, in Atlanta. I'll try to bring back some pics.

Dude, you are in CA, how bad can it be? Come to midwest where the HIGHS are not going to be above ZERO degrees for the next few days.

S.A.D. = Seasonal Acceleration Disorder

Yup, I got a map of the US pinned to my living room wall with pins all over it....

And spent most of my bonus on farkles, so I can't afford McD's right now.

I am in Manchester UK..........where summer just means the rain is warmer...........it has rained pretty much non-stop for 2 weeks now.....and still it pours.

It's days like today that make the symptoms more pronounced.

When the sun peeks thru for bits here and there (in BC this meteoroligical term is "sucker hole") the agitation in my spouse is MUCH more noticable.

He stares thru the window at the bright blue sky, then starts muttering "only 43 more days, only 43 more days" (until we re-insure the bikes for the coming season). Then depressed and dejected he turns away from the blue skies that are taunting him and goes back to cruising forums and planning farkles.

S.A.D. it is, truly...

Not much of a drinker myself, but after being at work for 13 hours on a physical inventory day no less. I pulled the cork on a bottle of Macallan single malt scoth whisky that was given to me last Xmas and had a double+! :clapping: :yahoo: :clapping: Feel much more relaxed. Just what Dr. Odot ordered!

I know what you mean . . .

I haven't seen a temperature above a single digit since the middle of last week, it is supposed today cold as hell all of this week, and we are supposed to get another 4-6 inches of snow today.

My seat should be delivered back to me today, Corbin warranty work, and it will still be weeks until I can ride again.

No way around it, WINTER SUCKS!!!
