This was the view outside my apartment yesterday around 11 AM. The first snowfall of the year and was the most for a November in 120 years (at 7 AM we were at 10", I think we ended up at 15" total). Thanks to my friends Scott and Tom for making it a great riding year, hope we can get more riding in next year (even though Tom jumped off the Yamaha ship lol). At least I was able to get out last Saturday for another 200 miles, putting me at almost 12,000 for the year.

Yep. I talked to my kids last night and they told me of the 8+ inches that dumped on them (Northern Il). I on the other hand had enjoyed almost 200 miles of canyons and twisty roads today. Not that I am bragging about it... It cost me me more in tires and other maintenance related items.... I never seem to find the time to tear it down and do proper annual maintenance... Kind of a "Fish or cut bait" problem...

It does look like it might be a tad fresh out on the bike. No issues like that here. Been having temps up to 40dec C. (close enough to 100deg F) for the last week.
