I hate spring

phenrichs · 03-15-2011, 01:39 PM

Man the sun is out in full force and the snow is almost gone here. Many bikes out already.

I really miss my nomad right now. They are calling for 60 tomorrow.

Paul, sorry to hear that you're suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

I'd tell you how I rode over to Famous Dave's for a chopped pork sandwich at lunch in my shirtsleeves today, but it probably wouldn't do you much good.

;)

It might look like ridin weatha' but it ain't. It's sugar season. I still got snow over knee deep, the road into here is soft and muddy in places and rock hard ice in others.

'Bout April will be 'in season' in NH this year, with lots of bugs for our teeth

The sapin came on strong yesterday. If this holds it will be a very good year. The first good year in a very long time. Ain't no tellin' yet.

With out a boil yet I am sure I will have sap enough for 2 gallon of the sweet stuff.

If all goes well in the end I hope to make 5 gallons.

Mac I don't know if you saw my 'shine thread....but any chance along with that maple syrup you could run ten gallons of mash...

?

Sorry for your bummin' OP....but I knew this was gonna happen.... ;).

we finaily hit 40 here in fargo but also have about three to four feet of snow to melt then we have to get thru the flooding. i want all this snow to just evaporate then get a good rain to wash all the sand and salt off the roads then i can get to riding.

macmac · 03-15-2011, 08:28 PM

Well I know ya can make beer of maple, and so I guess you can make mash of it, but I don't believe I need any 10 gallons of that stuff, unless I get to bein' a surgon, and i might as things look from heya'. If I do that mash is for me not any patients...

Paul, you can always go burn up a couple of boxes of ammo in that new 1911....

Don't he need a throttle lock for that?

pirate · 03-15-2011, 10:44 PM

OP, send those 60s north to us! We almost hit 40 today, but it's going to take a while to melt our 3-4 feet of the white stuff.
Sorry to hear you're missing the bike.

AlabamaNomadRider · 03-15-2011, 10:47 PM

Paul, I sure hate it for you that you don't still have your Nomad. I know I would sure miss mine.

deadant · 03-16-2011, 12:48 AM

I know your pain all to well. I went almost 14 years without riding while the kids are growing up. My son will turn 14 this fall so he should be able to get his license then. I really look forward to riding with him.

Not to rub it in, but I couldn't fight the temptation anymore. Went out for a 5.5 mile ride to fill up with fresh gas and then to auto parts store to get some o-rings for my firetruck. It was only in the mid 40's, but it sure felt good.

H*** NO that doesn't help. Now I miss my bike AND I'm hungry for BBQ.

Geesh thanks alot.

We got a few days of warmer weather last week and I got the bike out for the first ride of 2011 (not counting the run to the shop and back). Must have been 200 bikes at one of the local meeting points along the Elbe River in Hamburg. Saw my first Triumph Thunderbird and an odd looking single cylinder bike with a shifter (clutch and gear shift - sort of like a very old handbrake) on the left side of the tank. Interesting to say the least. Whenever you all break out your motors, ride safe.

macmac · 03-16-2011, 02:58 PM

I just got 4 inches of new snow... dam it all.....

**Top Cat** · 03-16-2011, 03:07 PM

I didn't read this whole thread so if it hasn't been mentioned, the dealers have Nomads for sale. They are making more everyday. You walk in and sign a contract and ride out. They even give you a book to keep track of your payments. I have had a book since 2007.
When I get this book done in 2012 I will get a new book

Don't foresee me ever being without a motorcycle.
