11 Blades

Dec. 27, 2005 - Despair and Depression

Just eleven more sleeps until the Porsche joins the Harley in the winter slumber of 'storage' insurance and I have to go back to driving vehicles of lesser lineage. Sigh.

Until the Spring, that is.

And.... as an aside. I have noticed a disturbing trend.

Other motorcycles which SHOULD be in storage are still out on the road.

I fear the rise in gas prices has brought a bunch of newbies into the motorcycling family and that they are thinking about saving fuel when they should be thinking about black ice and snow.

Soon some of them, sadly, will be thinking about recovery times and if they can meet their obligations to the bank while laid up.

Some won't be thinking at all.

You don't even need really cold weather. Our local Albion ferry uses an approach way which is a wooden dock.

Those boards ice up pretty easily.

And it curves on the Langley side.

And bikes get priority loading.

This is a bad combination at this time of the year.

At least the fences are sturdy.
