At the time(much younger days for sure)I had just upgraded jobs. The one I came from, I'd worked in a 30 below blast freezer for 3 yrs, so cold wasn't really an issue. Snow and ice on the other hand would have been.

OK, this is crazy but, I just bought it the other day and got insurance yesterday so I can then get my tags and plate now. Helmet to arrive today via UPS. It's been a few years since I've been riding.

But guess what? The rains quit yesterday and when I got home from work I jumped on her and took her out for a spin - no tags, plate or helmet (don't need a helmet in PA but will wear one anyway) - is that stupid or what?
