    Gettin that Spring Fever

    I had the local Harley shop put in my Andrews 26 G cams and now I have Spring Fever. I can't wait to put some miles on my UC. It has a deeper sound and feels a lot more torquee in the 2000 rpm range. I,m hoping my gas mileage either improves or stays the same. Anyone else getting that spring fever? Sure has been a long winter.

    Same here, I ride year round, but I can't wait to do it without dressing like and eskimo, and the pot holes are terrible right now. I did not ride nearly as much this winter as last!

    I ride year round in Texas, but like others here...I'm tired of having to layer up on clothes.

    I leave in the a.m. and it's 30F...the afternoon is 77F...and the evening is 50F.

    The drastic diff in temps over the course of one day is KILLING me already!!

    I've not been able to ride since October. The price of living in Alaska. Thought I might get out today as the main roads were clear and the side roads were fair. Got 7 inches of snow last night. Bummer.

    I was having a fit of Spring Fever. Friday, I decided to leave for the mountains. It was beautiful. There was a ton of bikes up there. Of course I was in the minority on my Gixxer, but that was ok. Everyone was friendly and there just to have a good time and enjoy the nice weather. I need to download a pic of a Harley with the hottest paint job I have seen in a while.

    YouTube

    I watch YouTube clips, it somewhat helps. For example:

    YouTube - Nomad 1600 parking lot practice

    then this

    YouTube - Parking lot practice 2

    and

    YouTube - Zions KawaNOW ride part 2

    and this

    YouTube - 2001 drifter vid

    etc. etc. etc.
