Nope.
Weather latley has been 5-10-15 degrees below average most days. ANd snowey. (... and had been sick for a while. . . )
Jan 31st was going to be a possibility, was upper 20s near 30, but I still wasn't feeling well.
Anyway, so January was the first month in several years that didnt go for a ride at least on one day.
I have been making a point to go for ride, even if just a short ride, at least one day a month thru the winter months, so that can "ride year 'round". January and Febuary would be the months that have to be quite selective to find a day for a short ride. Mid to upper 20s better than a rare day of abve temps like upper 30s or 40 cuz the snow banks on side of road wil be melting. So that last day of January would have been a good day for a short ride, but, no......
Will see if find a day or two in Febuary.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

I got out today for 110 miles. Temperature was upper 50's to lower 60's. Supposed to be 60 again tomorrow.
Next Saturday's high will be in the 20's but the next two days following that are projected to be back into the 50's. Makes me feel like spring is just around the corner.
Now all I need are some crooked and steep roads. Not going to find any around here though.Larry

Had plans to ride my K1300R up island with a few buddies for lunch today....ran an errand for work first and when I came back to my bike it wouldn't start....wasn't sure if it was just a battery or the starter.
Called my BMW dealer and Bernie the service manager had a van and a guy pick me and my bike up within 15min...went back to the dealership and told my buddy the service manager that I had planned to go to lunch up Island....he promptly told me to take a pretty new RT they just took on trade...he said "the tank is full, come back whenever you want".
They called me when I was on my way up island to say it was just a battery and that it was done and waiting for me when I returned.
I'll tell ya...I love my BMW dealer! Great guys that give great customer service!
Oh and the bike was pretty fun too.

Fun ride. Nice posting.
Any comment on cost of said battery and labor...?
(not $70 and not 10 minutes)
Ah, a newer RT for loaner. Fun.
Notice that the clutch is up front of engine now? (not in middle that takes 16 hours of shop labor to do anything).http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg
