I seem to recall one of my teachers back in college... a northerner, by origin, saying how much EMT crews dread that first warm spell after the dead of winter.
Always a lot of motorcyclists out and a good many of them go down because of salt/sand/gravel.

Thats not surprising. today and tomorrow are gonna be nice here. Tomorrow may hit mid 50's but the roads are in horrendous shape. A few weeks ago we had a kinda warm weekend and a lot of people got out. However we had some heavy rain prior to that so the roads werent too bad. We had snow and ice storms recently and nothing to wash the sand or salt away. Kinda glad Iam working because its amess out there and Iam jonesing to ride.

If you want someone to ride with, I now have plenty of time to ride... (i.e. my entire company got laid off last Thursday... :idk:) :rockout:

Welcome to the land of layoffs. My layoff began in early October and finding other work since have been quite sparce. I have a 2-3 week remodel in TN that will start next week. So, if you feel like riding this week let me know.
