tell ya...its been a great year to ride...for the most part from Jan 1 to now...didn't really go anywhere far...think the furthest was the OctVRFest...western NY...some 450 miles away...that was even going against my rule of thumb of how I usually get to any destination...the long way...never made it to the Dragon...family emergency...and even left the ride home on our yearly week summer vacation to the ocean in maine..ala at the wifes request...first time she asked if I would mind leaving the bike home since I started riding (2004)...think I shocked her when I said "sure...all you have to do is ask"... didn't tell her though that request can only be made once a year or maybe should change that to once every 5 years..... especially since whenever I ask for..... nevermind.... not going there...will only turn into another one of that other gender threads...annual mc bike riding foilage seeking Oct week in the White Mts of NH...rained pretty much all week...not complaining mind you...just what could have been...think I'm getting the makeup for that week from the big guy up there with my best riding november weather...so yes it has been good and hopefully others here have been able to enjoy their riding season also...

how one chooses to be laid to rest is their own personal choice after climbing into the box before the inevitable...although I do remember there seemed to be some sort of problem securing the lid...thanks for playing.

small side note...having passed ones guess does not necessarily mean they cannot still win...the winner is determined by closest to the actual number come dec 6...over or under...at worst we dig you back up..present you the bag of jelly beans and then put you back under. Just to remind everyone of the fine print, from the initial post...So take a guess...closest to the number be it over/under.

Day 16...Monday...

when I turned the key on and by the time I got home 90 minutes later running errands on a busy monday afternoon...

showed before I turned it off...so add another 40...today.

Day17...Tuesday...the white stuff is at the moment falling from the sky so the c90 will take the day off and stay hooked to the tender awaiting hopefully rideable conditions tommorrow...2 days now lost to unfavorable riding conditions...8 days left.

DCinCT · 11-29-2012, 09:40 AM

Day 18...Wednesday... roads somewhat rideable but common sense dictates leave bike hooked to tender and keep garage door shut...too many icy spots. 3 days lost to bad riding conditions...7 days left.

Ice makes the trip more exciting!!

DCinCT · 11-29-2012, 10:08 AM

beginning to look like Peprice...47,320 is going to be "a what could have been"...relisticly speaking...anything still possible but in my opinion no longer a front runner...guess you can blame me for putting the kiss of death on you when I made you the favorite...so...as we approach the home stretch it s begiining to look like nffalon55 back from the grave but fading fast... Capt ..Big Bird and M50Dave jockeying for position and making their move....
