mikepetry Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Anyone make it out today? We passed a few out there. Everyone got a wave today. Good to feel the wind across my bald head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Not yet. My court is still melting. Almost ready - looks like after work rides about everyday this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I did not ride. The main street near my house is clean to the concrete. However, there is still rocksalt and rocksalt dust on the roads. Plus, my driveway is still a sheet of ice, so not sure how successful I would have been to get the bike from the garage to the street.

cg2112 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 You bet!It was actually a really good day for a ride. Not cold at all to me, even on the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 104' of ice called my driveway, should be gone in the next few days...The roads around me are still a mess too, salt, melting snow/ice, and lots of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Took it for a nice little spin. Cathartic to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I RODE! Haven't been out since Mid-November, it was nice to be out!Took both bikes up to the gas station and topped them off then took minefor about a 20minute ride around Hilliard, just long enough to get cold BTW, I was surprised but both bikes fired right up without hesitation,no battery tender on them, and neither had been started since Mid-November. I was happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporttour Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Great day for a ride; got in about 75 miles after finishing the honey-do list. Went to the Pony and was surprised to see only two other bikes there - both ADV riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm only worried about how much we're going to pay for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKaw636 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 to much salt out for me rite know knoweing ohio we have nice weather for a week then bam a foot of snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 So I assume the guys that complain about salt don't like to wash their bikes? JK guys. I did take mine out for about 40 miles today. 20 minutes to wash it off after getting home. Could have gotten in more but I spent too much time fiddling with a mini spy camera I picked up earlier in the winter. I still can't seem to find a good place to mount it where vibration from the bike doesn't mess up the video.I will probably ride a few more times this week also. Wed-Fri looks promising as long as the rain stays on the low side of the forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modular Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I intended to just finally move the bike from the shop to the garage, which is 8 miles, but ended up riding for about an hour or so.....ahhhh, what good therapy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Driveway is still full of ice here. The roads aren't to my liking yet anyways. They look ugly. I'm wanting to ride bad, but I am patient for no salt, ice, water to be on roads.I <3 my fast toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 bike is still getting worked on, so no go here, although if it was together enough to ride i probably wouldnt have went out for a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Got the Katana cleaned up and fired up... serviced. Took to the pumps about 2 miles away, brought her home and cleaned her again. She is due for delivery Friday night.Then got the XR650l cleaned up and fired up, serviced. Took her to the pumps and turned and went the wrong way... Oops... Put about 20 miles on... Two instances of slipping on dust salt silt sinders... whatever it was. Like riding a dirt bike throuhg a corner. Brought her home and cleaned her up again. I so wanted to ride to work today... Just could not bring myself to do it.

drc32-0 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Got about 100 miles in on the KLR yesterday...a little loop on 555,78,13.A lot of sand on 555,typical this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motociclista Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I chipped ice several times recently just in preparation for Sunday, so I had a two-foot-wide melted spot in my driveway, which otherwise resembled a glacier.Had to go pick up some stuff I had printed. Took the rat bike, so I don't care about salt or sand. Two miles from my house to the store. Somehow turned into a 25-mile round trip. Don't know how that happened.
