Happy New Year everyone! Shortly after the stroke of Midnight I rolled out the GS500 fired her up and went down the street and back for my first ride of the new year. Yes, it was cold, I was cold and the bike was cold but I just wanted to do it for the grins and giggles and maybe wake the neighbors.

We had a random burst of 50 degrees and sun today in Pittsburgh so I got in a little over 100 miles today. I think it's gonna rain tomorrow so I'm probably done, but it was definitely a good new years activity.
Only downside is that the melting snow did a good job of keeping the roads wet and gross. This is what you deal with when your bike has a super short tail. Plus the front of the motor is a giant mess. I'm gonna be going at it with a toothbrush for hours haha

That's from snow eh? Sure, we'll believe that for now. ;)
Kudos to you TT. That salt does make a mess though......

Salt wasn't too big of an issue, just mud that had run onto the roads from the snow melting.

You guys suck!! It warmed up here too...it was -30C on Thursday, and now it is -12C...roads are still covered in ice (in the neighbourhoods anyway) I don't think I will be able to get a ride in until March...if it warms up sooner, maybe in Feb...but I'm not holding my breath...so quit whining about mud... :flipoff:
Later.
I'm 99% sure that was my last ride before march.
It was 76 today :D tomorrow sunny and the same. This is why I live in Florida!
