First day back on the bike after the blizzard. You know things are weird when a Buffalo rider gets one in before I do. Had to shovel a couple hours but sure is good to back on the V twin.

Congrats! I heard all about the pissed off NY locals who couldn't get their streets plowed. It seems like Al Gore could have at least helped out with some of his global warming.

It was like a 3rd world country. Like 20 busses "stuck" just on my way home. Saw 5 plows "stuck" too. Plows didnt have chains. Turns out he city workers want more money so they did it on purpose. I knew it that night watching them. Pretty dangerous for the citizens though. Many areas just left snowed in.

Not sure what you're talking about. I rode both bikes on Friday. Perfectly comfortable here in the south! :-D

Not quite as warm today though? Still lots a slush no? It was warm up here in Yorktown as well and riding was on my mind. But all I did was buy a mc magazine.

As expected we are back to the 20s and snow in good old Buffalo NY... Glad you were able to get a ride in.

Yeah cold again here too today but I still ride year round. The snow is the real issue. It melts on some streets into the riding path & freezes at the first sign of chill. So far my "record" is 5" of snow on a ride from lower manhattan over the Brooklyn bridge. Scary but I survived with my Buffalo riding skills.
