well it just so happens today is the day.

I have sold my scoot and bought a snowmobile as I got a really good deal on an even swap. We had such a horrible winter I figured I won't get caught out like that again and am now prepared for the next winter.

Hope everyone has a great spring and summer riding and don't forget to change over to the summer air in your tires.

Good trade!
I might have to consider that myself if we have another winter such this last one.

funny you should say that. I have a very good friend who does motorcycle tire studs for ice racing. He is considered one of the best for this.

Be sure to take the donkey in to the dealer and have the notch lubed properly.

Be wary of the donkey's tilt lock, it has a tendancy to kick.

Haven't you got this backward? You buy scooters in the Spring and snowmobiles in the Fall.

I read it, I was so heartbroken it took a while to sink in, about the time I started to hit submit the light came on and I thought I'd better take another look at your post. That's 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back. And at my age you want ever one of them.

Speaking of riding, ( which we are not) We took our first long ride of the new season. Been such a miserable winter we only took a couple of short rides. Rode 150 miles round trip last Saturday, Had BBQ ribs at Davis Oklahoma. Wonder what end of the donkey one would look for the notch. And will he stand still for lubing up.

I've had the worst April 1 day of my life. Spent most of it in the hospital. Won't be able to ride for weeks now. I lost my sense of humor today.

That is very disturbing and uncomfortable to hear. I do hope you will be ok and that the event was not life threatening. Get well soon.
