Hey Gryph,
I'm be a damn fool to gloat in such august company. It would only come back to bite me in the ass! I simply consider it a blessing to be able to back one of the girls out of the garage and go for a spin on any given day! Travel is just better on two wheels, as we all know.
I have given your predicament, and Laitch's, too, for that matter, some thought during the colder periods. You guys are both smart. Can't you figure out some kind of conveyor system to get your girls to black top??
Most of the holiday stress has passed...now just a few days to chill. Hope you had an opportunity to gather with the ones you love!
