Brenner Posted February 28, 2015 #1 Posted February 28, 2015 Can you feel it? It 's coming, it's almost here! Boy am I getting excited, I haven't hit the pavement since boxing day. Today was a lovely -10 celcius (14 fahrenheit) with lots o sunshine. I can feel it, I missed last months Friday 13th but I want to make this upcoming months as the next will be in November. For those who don't know please look up Friday 13 Port Dover, it is a large motorcycle gathering. If the roads are clear I will try to make the 2 hour trip from my place. I know the video I posted below is not my venture but it is Vicki my Virago who is insured until April and I just had to wake her from her sleep. I want to get my use out of her before my venture replaces her position. She sounded great after a little nudging to get her to wake up. So can you hear it? It's on its way, riding season is almost here!
cowpuc Posted February 28, 2015 #2 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) That Vicky,, she is a true shweeeeethart!!! Personally I think that dorky hamster named Punkseesquanny Phil:buttkick: should be replaced by VICKY THE VIRAGO cause I really like what she is preaching!! Hey Fool, you reading this?? Just sit and STARE at her color:225:, Vicky's got something for the mighty Wisconsin White Wash Machine too!! Edited March 1, 2015 by cowpuc
slowrollwv Posted March 1, 2015 #3 Posted March 1, 2015 Hay Puc leave the Fool alone, he has that thing turned south and every time you holler at him about his machine he turns it up and we get a blast of the white stuff. I want to get the bike out and try my new pipes.
bongobobny Posted March 1, 2015 #4 Posted March 1, 2015 They tell me spring is right around the corner! First off, who are "they" and what do "they" know???

Brenner Posted March 2, 2015 Author #7 Posted March 2, 2015 Oh yeah baby! Every day that temperature is climbing, gotta say I might be coming down with spring fever! Someone sing Flyinfool a lullaby.
cowpuc Posted March 2, 2015 #8 Posted March 2, 2015 Oh yeah baby! Every day that temperature is climbing, gotta say I might be coming down with spring fever! Someone sing Flyinfool a lullaby.

CaptainJoe Posted March 2, 2015 #10 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) In 8 days, I'm going to Make it Spring....LOL Edited March 2, 2015 by CaptainJoe
Brenner Posted March 4, 2015 Author #11 Posted March 4, 2015 I was out in my cage today headed to the yamaha dealer to pickup a water pump kit and what did I see? Dry roads! Yippee! It's coming can you feel it? Is Puc one of the few getting excited with me? Well since puc posts little songs for certain occasions I have this one for picked out for him and and maybe one that will help keep flyinfool well rested... Come on spring.... Riding season is almost here....
SilvrT Posted March 4, 2015 #12 Posted March 4, 2015 I rode on Jan 31st and the past 3 weekends and I'll be riding again this weekend. If this keeps up, I could be tired of riding before most everyone else starts! (yeah... like that will ever happen!)

Brenner Posted March 8, 2015 Author #14 Posted March 8, 2015 Above zero celcius (32 f) and weather getting nicer all month long.... Can you feel it? Hey Puc, Grace wants to say "Hi" I woke her up today and honestly just listening to her gallop brought much needed comfort. I have to figure an affordable way to be able to insure her as well as my venture. She is too much of a respectable lady to leave at home. I think she looks pretty good for a 30 year old and still has her factory paint and all original documentation and parts removed. God I love the 80's bikes!
Huggy Posted March 8, 2015 #15 Posted March 8, 2015 +7C here today. BBQed some Canadian Bacon and onions put them on a bun and had a glass of whine!!! And SAT out in the SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!
Flyinfool Posted March 8, 2015 #16 Posted March 8, 2015 I'm not sure, but I may have seen the tip of A blade of grass in the back yard today. Might have been an illusion......
stickhandle2 Posted March 10, 2015 #17 Posted March 10, 2015 The dogs are now coming in from outside with muddy paws......a definite good sign.
Brenner Posted March 11, 2015 Author #18 Posted March 11, 2015 Finally!!! I get to post about what I have been envious of other. I was out in my garage with big door open and I was water sanding the panels to my venture project and the sun oh my did it feel nice. I could hear it, beckoning me, calling my name. I walked down the driveway to see the soupy mess that is the road I live on. I try to ignore the urge, and rationalize that my car hauler trailer cannot be seen for snow in the driveway still so I go back to my sanding. Then it happens, my neighbour calls me and tells me he is seeing people out on their electric bikes and scooters and I feel it snap inside of me. Less than 5 minutes later I am in my gear and Vicki my Virago is galloping along waiting for me to mount. Now it was not far but I found 10 miles of clean roads before deciding that 5 celcius (41F) in an open face helmet and sunglasses and vented gloves on a naked bike tend to give a rider a chill. But I have to say it was worth it, and it gave me that little extra to appease me like a drug until the next few weeks when I can put some miles on. I can feel it, can you?
Huggy Posted March 11, 2015 #19 Posted March 11, 2015 Well it is coming!!!! Just saw the first sign of spring today!!! Was it a robin, no. Was it turkey vultures, no. It was the first motorcycle of the year to go by our place!!!!!

Oh yea,, I can feel it too Bren,, although we are still BURIED in the White Wash (I dont use the "s" word until well into August because,, well, frankly because I dont really trust my neighbor (guy by the name of @Flyinfool) and his desire to trick me into thinking he has put away his White Wash Machine.. Tweeks is still hibernating in the basement BUT, I did blow a path downstairs today so as this stuff melts and the grass gets exposed I can get the bikes out!! Anticipation is happening here BIG TIME!!!
Yammer Dan Posted March 12, 2015 #21 Posted March 12, 2015 The SUN is shining!!! Shut up and go back to sleep Joe!! Dang I wish I could make that trip!!!
Yama Mama Posted March 13, 2015 #22 Posted March 13, 2015 It was 60 here in Cincinnati yesterday. I got the feeling. I know Ron will not be getting the bike out of it's winter hiding hole until all the salt and sand has washed off the roads. But I do have the feeling anyhow. I saw quite a few bikes out yesterday. It helped with my feeling the urge. At my age, any urge is a good thing. Problem is my urge usually does not coincide with Ron's urge. So until his urge catches up with mine, I will just have to watch the other bikers have a nice smile on their faces.Yama Mama
