Is it not bad enough that those "lucky" enough to live in a snow band have to "coop" up our bikes for the winter and then, when the weather breaks we ourselves get cooped up @ work like our bikes were and watch the day go by when we could be one with our passion riding to where ever the road takes us. I write this as I sit in the lobby of my oil change business and watch the day go by. I'd give anything to be riding, hell working on my bike instead of changing oil in other ppls cars. "Shelly" is in great shape just having the K&N air filter cleaned fresh fluids and a nice long ride last evening get rid of her "strips" I still kick myself in the ass for not going to UTI Buell school and starting my traveling Buell Service Van. I would have done it all, traveled wherever a Buell needed service. To meet other folks passionate about another mans passion (Erik's) just does something inside you. It's different for everyone of us. Sitting here looking out the window waiting for 7pm to go ride.
