Anyone else?
Truth be told I was on my Yamaha, but at near 9:00 when I was headed home I was glad for the protection!

Left Roseville about 1:00, did Prescot and points south.  Doubled back and crossed over to Wabasha and did 60, then county 7 up past Welch.  I figured to see some bikes today, but I was surprised at the number.  Lots of dudes and dudettes ducked out of work today!

That must have been a helluva ride on that DT 250  :o [laugh]

I was tempted, but I  did about 50 miles of single track on the GasGas up at Nemadji on Sat and had the Polecat out on Sunday so I was responsible.   [roll]

I thought you have that new bike out.
You cannot argue with crazy because crazy is not willing to be convinced. Hell, it's not even willing to listen to the arguments.

Or the SRX6!  Touche!

It was a helluva ride...on the Feej.  I hope we get a few more days like that, but that may have been the last decent one and to be taken advantage of.

yeah I called in sick too and rode in the dirt at pine city.  had a blast until I broke the chain and had to push the bike back 3+ miles.  thank god for case savers otherwise the repairs could be worse than the walk.  I'd rather spend a day pushing a broke bike than working [bacon]

Subject line from the memo I sent to my riding buds:  "This EXEMPT employee"
Subtle eh?  They are also exempt and one of them did join me for a great day, well spent.

One of the few 'ups' to being exempt!

AND good thing ya wasn't 10 miles back in!

Thanks John, I stopped at ACE hardware after work and picked some up, so I'm all set now  [thumbsup]

Probably bringing it into silverback this weekend and having them go through the stuff I can't.
