Dano Posted December 26, 2007 #1 Posted December 26, 2007 Who took the chance to go out for a ride today (Christmas Day)? Needed to go to Grandmas, of course "over the river (creek) and through the woods (several tree stands). Was about 45f when we left at 2:30 this afternoon, son rode in with me. Beautifull!!!! When we left at 8 tonite, the daughter rode with me. I believe when we got back home it was close to 32f outside. Still glad I haven't started to tear her down yet!!! Gonna have to get going, tho. Still couldn't pass up a chance for a ride!!!!! Dan
juggler Posted December 26, 2007 #2 Posted December 26, 2007 Not a chance of doing a ride in MN today. TOO MUCH SNOW!!! It's has been snowing all day without stopping and the radar show more snow still rolling in from the west. :snow2::snow2: :snow2::snow2:
AKRefugee Posted December 26, 2007 #3 Posted December 26, 2007 About 42 here. Just couldn't take it any more and had to make a run. Was just positioning the rides over to the new home (about 7 miles) but for some reason it took about 45 minutes and about 35 miles. Guess I got lost (or so I told the other half). Man did I need it been since TDay since I got my last ride in. Was getting a little difficult to live with. Think I will be okay for a few days now.

Mariner Fan Posted December 26, 2007 #5 Posted December 26, 2007 Dang, poor timing for me. I started the bike last Saturday and it was sputtering during idle. Well, I just had the 600 mile service done, and I decided to take it back to the shop so that they couldn't accuse me of storing it improperly. So the bike is in the shop and the weather here in Indy was very nice on Christmas. Wish I would have held off a couple of days so I could have ridden.
stardbog Posted December 26, 2007 #6 Posted December 26, 2007 I Did 120 Mil's Christmas Day. All food was ready day before (Roasted Australian Lamb), and I took opportunity to take a spin. Went to Kenosha county WI. there was almost no Trafic. on the way back, I'm took easy ride back to Chicago through Beautiful North Shore Chicago Suburbs. Sheridan road was all my. What beautiful ride. Day was sunny, my termometar showing 31F. Heated Clothing is worth every penny. WOOOOHOOOO. What A Christmas Day.
Chuckles Posted December 26, 2007 #7 Posted December 26, 2007 I took a Christmas ride also. Was 54 degrees in beautiful sunny Southern Indiana. Stopped and saw my wife while she was working (convenient store) and then on the the in-laws. Not a long ride but was beautiful all the same. Hope New Years day is just as nice. always like to start the new year off on the right note. Chuckles
pegscraper Posted December 26, 2007 #8 Posted December 26, 2007 I didn't make it out yesterday, but I got a ride in today. It was only about 40* but it was sunny and the roads are clear. I hadn't been on it for three or four weeks, and the first few miles felt strange. I'd be just as happy if we didn't get any more snow this winter at all.
georgew48 Posted December 26, 2007 #9 Posted December 26, 2007 I rode the bike to work today. Couldn't resist. Loved every mile of (40 miles round trip).
Dano Posted December 27, 2007 Author #10 Posted December 27, 2007 Happy and glad for all those up north here who decided to ride! I'm wanting to go on Fat Daddy's (in Shelbyville, In) New Years Day ride next week if it's up in the 40's with dry roads. I've got a couple of HD buddies who are going. DOn't have all the fancy cold weather gear, but Carhartt bibs and coat has been working good. Anybody else from Indy want to go, PM me and we'll hook-up. Dan
Rattlesnake Posted December 27, 2007 #11 Posted December 27, 2007 I only got in about 70 miles today but have put on about 360 over the last 4 days.planning on going up to see my Mom in Houston on Fri.Should be a good ride about 300 round trip. Snake
Venture90 Posted December 27, 2007 #12 Posted December 27, 2007 i got out yesterday for a ride. Nice day for it too. Rode to work and back about 100 miles.
