    Hey folks, how goes the pavement where you are?  Bit slick and wet up here at the moment.  Anyone close by to Rindge, NH?
    Always looking to get with locals , and meeting new riders.

    Thanks Bikermedic. Glad to be here. Would rather be someplace warmer, and drier, but as they say, patience. Spring is just a few months away.

    If you were ever at Ft Bragg, I was right next door once at Pope AFB. Thanks for your Service, I too am retired military, USAF. Right now my dog and I are on phase three of a two year RV road trip, with bike in tow. Hangin in Kill Devil Hills NC and soon to head towards south Texas.

    And a hearty THANK YOU for your time and service. No, no Bragg, Fort Eustis, VA though, Ft Dix, NJ and Ft Knox, oh, and retired at Ft Devens, MA. And that is just the East coast. Pop was Air Force for 20 years, here at Westover, MA. Jealous as hell about the RV trip.

    Oh crap I forgot about Dix, I spent two years at McGuire too. Philly suburbs was where I spent my teens. Since AF time I have lived everywhere else. Most of my family are back in SE PA.

    Hey there young lady. How you enjoying this latest garbage from Mother Nature?

    almost slid off the road twice on the way to meet a friend in Rochestor, MA then leaving there my car got stuck, we had to shovel it out with my ice scraper. Until that moment, I thought the snow coming down outside as I looked out the window was beautiful.

    Thanks Jimmyacorn. Read your message, and it is all true. Things just are not what they used to be, and there are way too many "posers" for me. I wear the "Vets Never Forget" patch, ride mostly Lone Wolf. So, I hold my own "patch" and am proud of it, this country, and what WE stand for. God Bless, Peace of Mind, and hope for the world.

    Yea, the weather turned to garbage quickly.  Glad everyone is safe.  Shoveling with an ice scrapper must have sucked.
