Hey Blue that was my favorite ride this past summer when we came down in September!!! We rode back up to Eureka and then towards Koocanoosa then we rode the 37 south along the lake past the Dam and all the way to Libby, Lunch break and then hightail on the #2 back thru Kalispel and then back up to Whitefish..... Damned good ride!!!! Nice sweepers along that #37.... was great a great day forget how many miles, but my but was a tad sore comin into Kalispel!!!

The U.P. had a blanket of snow this morning but it was all gone by noon. I'm not dumping the oil quite yet. I think there are still a couple good riding days left in 09. This was about the time I called it quits last year, though.

NAh, I don't mean to come off like a prick. Summertime down here is brutal. Not like S.Texas brutal but we get about 7 months of 90+ degrees. Riding in that is not too much fun in itself.
Use the down time to clean/mod your bike. That's what I used to do when I lived up in NY, but even then, if the temp went above 45, I would often go out for a brief spin.

I was joking about the Prick thing!! heehee..... I would ride everyday if I could.... but its back to waiting for hours in traffic cos nobody remembers how to drive in the snow and ice... like it doesn't happen every year??? On friday we had a skiff of snow unfortunately its been above freezing so the snow was melting and as it got dark around 5pm the temp dropped icing over the road add another skiff of snow and you got a nice skating rink.... almost 600 collisions or more that night, people smashing into people like they have never seen snow before!!! Some days I day dream that it is 95 degrees hot and humid everyday!!! But then I wud never want to go to work!! No Mods for me this winter, gonna be a new daddy.... gonna have to work some extra shifts to afford the insurance for the 14 almost $1300.00 Canadian as they are on the insurance restricted list...

Thanks Romans!!! That is for sure!!!! On another note I saw some crazy mofo on an older type ninja out riding today... icy snow covered roads major roads are wet with some icy patches and some snow, temp hovering around the -10 C... I had to double take that guy is either incredibly stupid or has huge cajonnes!!!

LOL, I helped a guy get his brand new gsx 750 to the curb a few years back. I guess black ice is something he did not think of. I will give him credit though, he went backwards for much longer then I thought was possible. I did laugh but felt bad 4 the guy, he was clearly broke up over the whole thing.
