What a pleasure to get out on the roads. They are nice and dry, but they have lots of sand on them, so corners can be a bit on the dicey side.

They were locked in by ice, all winter, and started the first time! Sand is nothing, compared to the potholes....be careful out there! I guess they are predicting ice out tonite and tomorrow....... Still 10 to 15 degrees below average for the Great Lakes for next weeks predictions... Spring in the north is so short!

Silversmuge Hooked Vespa GTS300, BMW C650 Joined: UTC Posts: 254 Location: Naples, FL	UTC quote I've had my GTS out twice for short rides over the last week. Nice to be able to take some short rides but bring on the warmth. Would it be too much to ask for multiple days of 50+ F days? Pretty please. I want to take a nice long ride till my butt hurts and I run low on gas and need to fill-up. I want to arrive home tried but with a big smile.

I was in Toronto last weekend and saw PTWs out, including a Vespa ET. Glad you got a ride in Charles.

We've been pretty dry and much warmer for a while, but now we're doing what I call the Spring Road Dance, aka The Pothole Polka. Almost proper riding season for everyone again, be safe, have fun!

Going to do an oil change, etc., on the weekend and hopefully get out on the road within the next week or so. I am having a hard time holding back, but being a relative newbie, I figure it is better to be safe than sorry. Have a safe riding season everyone.
