Winter has us in its firm grip

Snow on the ground, bike on the battery tender and nothing to do but dream about next riding season and my first official visit to Sturgis.  Is there anything sadder than your bike on "shore power?"

I'll be very surprised if I can sneak in a ride before sometime in March, or even April.  Even if the temps rise and the snow melts Michigan puts so much salt on the ground that I don't like to get that junk on my bike.  So, I'll have to devise some other activities to keep me occupied while waiting for the trip to commence.  Did I mention that it starts in 241 days? 

Maybe I'll make out my Christmas List from the Harley Store and leave it where my wife is sure to find it.  I wonder if she will get me an MP3 player?  Ya think?  

Enough foolishness for today;
