Yea I made the mistake of riding as soon as the roads cleared before. What a fucking mess and all that salt on your bike can't be good!

I'm still waiting for the snow to melt. Plus another storm and Arctic cold is coming in tomorrow. I haven't seen a Sunoco gas station since the early 70's. Used to get Sunoco 260 then, with an octane over 100 for $0.37/gal. Boy was that expensive compared to other premium.

My car runs crappy on Sunoco around here. There's one right down the road from my house. I stopped going there. Consistently get worse mileage on Sunoco.

I got in a mere 50 miles or so, and it was only 30'ish - what a wuss I am. Still a great way to roll in the New Year!

I did a canyon run on Sunday...temp was 75. It was near perfect.

I won't ride under 60F, unless it is to work.

12F is nutz...
