Re: 1st Ride of the season

I probaly won't make it out till the end of the month or possible begining of May. I need to install the steering, GPS speedo, drive shower and oil temp gauge that I bought. I also need to do the routine maintenace BS before I shake the lake!

Bob, how cold was it out there??

Re: 1st Ride of the season

Saturday night I was on my way to the bar, and I was heading North on LSD passing the playpen. The water looked crazy! I thought it was raining out and put my wipers on, but it was spray from the waves crashing against the sea wall. Scary stuff.

Re: 1st Ride of the season

Could be splashing on the river Saturday for a test run. Of course now that I'm saying that, either the weather will be crappy or we won't get the boat done... .
