Hey you lot...gone a bit quiet innit?
Yes Brock I would agree. My personal theory it is related to SAD (Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder).
Generally speaking, most of our members are North of the equator. Here in Canada the useful riding season ends late November and doesn't begin till late March. So, December we can post and reminisce about last season. January, still enthusiatistic and start planning for upcoming season. February, holy crap this non-riding thing is real. March, I 'm sick of reading posts about future rides or guys in the southern US actually riding.
It is so close to the beginning of something good, but we are not quite there.
Hope your post has kick-started something!
cheers,

Wrangler...I sympathise. Not long now, indeed. Our problem is...although the weather's getting better with less chance of frost/ice, the Councils seem to be gritting and salting every night anyway, just to use up their quota of the stuff. Bugger me if I didn't see a gritter in operation at 8 o'clock the other morning. Temperature was about 6-8 degrees above freezing! Wankers.
Well, I've done about 1,000 km since I bought my Tigger four weeks ago.
Hey, I might actually exceed my yearly quotum for this year (15k/year).
Better phone the insurance people :)
Last week was a bit exciting, though; my reearwheel started spinning as I pulled away from a traffic light.
A few metres earlier I had come to a rather 'sporty' halt due to some **** in a cage who decided to be morally upstanding and slam the brakes for a green-about-to-go-amber-about-to-go-red traffic light :evil:
So I 've been busier riding my bike than using the internet...
I rode from Boise to Seattle last weekend. Cold, wet and fun.
