HOLY !@#$%*!! You RODE your BIKE in UPSTATE NEW-FRIGGIN'-YORK THIS TIME O' YEAR???!!!

Well dude, I don't know about any "motorcycle gods" or not, but I gotta say, you is...ONE BRAVE SOUL!

And so, IN YOUR HONOR I'm gonna fracture a little verse from the pen of one Rudyard Kipling.....


Lessard! Lessard! Lessard!
You Lazarushian-leather Matt Lessard!
Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you[with sarcasm over the years]
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Matt Lessard!


(BTW...it was about 78F here in SoCal when I rode MY BIKE to the tennis courts today!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
