Not ready to give up yet

We have experienced snow, ice, and days of temperatures that did not exceed freezing. But I have not put Kermit away for the winter. Still hoping for another nice-enough day, I am keeping the Nomad ready for a trip at a minutes notice. The temperatures themselves are not reason for concern; I have the gear to stay warm well below freezing. But the ice and slush can be dangerous and keeps me off the road.

I was paging through this blog, looking for some pictures of last year's motorcycle shows. Paging through, I found a couple of interesting facts. In late October, I was riding along Lake Erie when it was nearly freezing when I took off in the morning. And November 24th and 25th were in the 40's, and gave me a short respite for a ride. So hopefully the forecast for this Thanksgiving to be in the 40's with no rain holds true for this year!

Oh yeah...I also noticed that on December 31, I was able to take the daughter out for a short ride too! Ahhhh, Ohio.....you never can tell what weather you will be facing.
