Every year these threads come out of the "snow drifts" and I always think to myself how good I've got it. At least the winters give people plenty of time to work on their bikes

Btw, I do really empathise with those of you have hibernated your bikes. On the other hand when I see vision of beautiful countrysides in the U.S. And Europe, I realise how lucky you guys are. It's all relative fellahs. Chin up and before you know it, you'll be back on and making up for lost time.
How anyone rides in those minus temps I've got no idea. Btw Frank and my other Aussie mates up there near Brisbane, I'm riding up again in the second half of January. My only concerns is wet weather, considering what we've had so far. It won't stop me though. Anyway, I wouldn't mind us having a beer at the Bribie pub like we did a couple of years back. It's really great to see other bikes like mine. :
