Admin/Moderator, please move this thread to chat if necessary, I don't know how to post directly to chat.

Hello all, this is my first post.

It's February, and looking outside there is still 4 inches of snow on the ground. I've spent many hours lately day-dreaming about riding my motorcycle again.

If you are experiencing "Spring Fever" like me, please feel free to share a pic of your motorcycle.

How about a nice new 2004 Corvette convertible, I just bought one...going to be 50-60 here in sunny Texas this weekend...think about tying that snow shovel to the back of your bike and heading south when someone asks "what is that?" buy a house there!

To replace the 1983 Bonny (RIP) and the 1972
BSA, a spankin' new 2004 Bonny.

Wifey says no, but I can dream, can't I?

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Not into bikes... however, we are looking fowrward to driving our 6 time Best of Show/winning, pristine 1993 Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo when the weather finally breakes here in New England.

As for specs: 300+ hp, all wheel drive, all wheel steering, 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds and top speed of over 160 and 27 MPG crusing at 75 mph :o) Oh did I mention it is Firestorm Red :o)

I did three trackdays at Brainerd International Raceway last summer, I can't wait to get back there. I have a 2000 Yamaha YZF-R1. I am considering the '04 right now----160HP at the rear wheel would sure be fun!!

As Mr. Gun (in South FL) would say: "You mean there are days you CAN'T ride? That's just not right."

It's really slow, but it tastes good, so if it breaks down in the boonies I can eat it.

One XL deserves another. Taxes paid XLH-H 883 now an XLH-H 1200.

For those of you not fortunate enough to ride Harley-Davidson's or Buells, paying the taxes means rejetting the carburator, adding a high flow air cleaner, and high flowing pipes. Nothing in life is as embarrassing as riding a Harley with wimpy sounding stock pipes. :)

That should be my bike. A 2003, taxes paid XLH-Hugger, with a wiseco 1200 conversion, slammed to the ground with 11" shocks, and sporting a whole bunch of chrome and leather.
