Hi Mike,
Man you ain't just a hall fartin on talking about flat ass cold weather? We get down to low 20's and shit down both legs. Klamath Falls get damn colder. I did my first 18 years in Penna. and know about winter, went to Nam and learned from buddies of sun shine in Calif. come back state side, moved from the east quickly, hated snow. Sounds like you have some great buddies to hang out with in your town. All that cool shops, equipment to work with is super. Your large collection of rolling stock just blows me away? Might be tough to part with some of your favorite machines? I work on only 3 early BMW's, and new to me the 82 650 heritage, money pit $$. Going thru the 34's now, was parked 12 years prior, you know the drill on this story. Been getting real familiar with 12 years of much needed maintenance, repairs. Would liked to had bought Triumph like we rode back in them roaring 60-70's but can never afford one these days. I truly like this Yamaha, 12 months into it now. Been a real labor of love up till now, and winter has come? might even get to put some miles on it come summer time, sure as hell hope to.
Good talkin to ya back in Minn.
Keep warm
Stay safe
