Weather has been MUCH more winter-like than normal. Lots more snow and cold, foggy, windy conditions. Plus here in Oregon they put a TON of gravel on the roadways and especially the intersections which makes winter biking a challenge to stay upright. I usually wait for the street sweepers to come along and clear the gravel. That being said, I HAVE seen some hard-core motorcyclists out recently. Just enough sunshine to get things moving. :) * Paul LeBoutillier * *www.hondanighthawks.net <http://www.hondanighthawks.net/>* Honda Nighthawk Lovers Email group<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nighthawk_lovers> On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 11:31 AM, Allen Thomas <althomas...@gmail.com>wrote: > Don't just start it RIDE it.
