Got up early this morning (-4 degrees) to go Tiger hunting.  I found the Tiger to be in better condition than I had expected and signed the deal.  2300 miles with all three factory bags and heated grips.  Said good bye to the Yamaha I was trading and put the Tigger on the trailer.  

Too much ice on our roads here at home but I managed to get her out of my driveway for a brief spin (no pun intended).  She sure purrs nice.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you on the road next year.  Let me know if any of you are going to the Moto GP in Indianapolis.  I haven't purchased tickets yet but should know if the trip is set some time in January.

Yes!  JUST SHOOT ME NOW!!!!!!  I intended to buy a bike around this time but I also intended to ride it home.  I can usually ride longer even though it gets cold snow has been slim.  Not this year!  Couldn't believe I had to trailer it and then park it in my garage........oh, and yes, the garage door up and down though I do love the smell of an internal combustion engine......cough, cough.  :P

Hey, it's summer time here. Just got home from a really nice days ride.

Night ride home from the Lakes was just warm and fantastic.

I don't want to think about you guys riding in the warm summer while we endure next winter.

Yuk, that snow stuff in your pics is just a distant memory over here at the moment but never mind, it will all be reversed again far too soon.

Enjoy your bike. Cheers John.
