    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The season for motorcycles may have ended --

South Coast of Oregon, I ride both my bikes year round. Rain doesn't bother me. Feeling glad I don't live where some of you guys are. I couldn't handle only riding a portion of the year!

Suspended the insurance on all 5 bikes yesterday. No "legal" riding until April 1st.

Now that's depressing. Here, (NY), my standard policy includes "limited use" during winter months. If they knew how much I rode each year, they'd cut my policy in half!
 
Left Kansas this morning and ended up in Albuquerque. Wall to wall sunshine and temps hovering around the 70 degree mark.
And the frosting on the cake was my getting to meet Roger (burque73) in person.
Tomorrow night will find me in Mesa, Az. :beguiled:

Just for fun, gawk at this super nerd's winterizing video:
 
LOL...I am done also, but it's not the weather...

It's the new puppy....gonna be a bit before I can leave him alone for more than a couple hours...

But it's worth it...:cool:
 
Forecast calls for 3 inches here today, salt trucks are out so the bike is officially in hibernation. Good news is the kids are pretty much up to speed on their skis this year, so my winter stoke level is high!

Unless Roger has ideas about another route, I would suggest dropping south to Soccoro, then going west on US 60. You can follow 60 all the way to Mesa.

Along the way, you will see the Very Large Array. It is impressive enough to see from the road, assuming some of the dishes are in sight, but I hope to stop in to see the displays some day.

Between Show Low and Globe (both in Arizona) you will cross the Salt River, which is a nice, twisty ride.

Show Low to Globe is a great ride. Salt River Canyon is a fabulous-and beautiful route. If you travel through Show Low, stop in at Black Horse Brewing.
 
Snow any day... Still riding everyday.

I've done that several times just not during the last 7 or more years. I was going to do that today but it was raining and storming West of I-25 so I just went further South and then West to Tucson and North to Mesa. I dodged rain most of the day until I got to Tucson. There's more to tell about that but for now it's getting late and bed is calling.

Thanks, BiL

Snowmobile gear... If it's warm enough to be on a sled you can ride a motorcycle!
I have heated grips on the TUX, I also just installed my Plexi Fairing on the TUX.
I have a heated vest but it's not cold enough for it. It's great in soaking cold conditions.
I'm back to just 50ish miles a day... The TUX is definitely setup for 50/50 paved dirt so I take all back and class 4 roads home. I ride the same amount of time but cover less miles. Still Smiles the whole way!
