The operative word here is, dormancy. Shussh.

Yes, Daytona! Or if that’s too late in the game, you could start getting excited by planning for a ride to AmeriVespa Scooter Rally in New Orleans June 12-15 http://amerivespa.org/ which coincides with the finish of the Scooter Cannonball Run from Alaska to New Orleans http://www.scootercannonball.com/ My apologies if you already knew of these events. I’m new to your blog! – Shane

Steve, I feel your pain! I, too, feel like I am hooked up to a battery tender – a strange type of human life support with a low volt charge until Springtime brings riding weather again. In Georgia we get some ice and small amounts of snow, even 32-0 temps but it is the temps of 35-45 that make us think twice about scooting out again. Why? All that Flu Bug in the air here. Not quite cold enough to kill it off and so risking the dreaded Flu Bug keeps riding at bay. Once in awhile I can catch a good day or two before the latest storm front moving in. This last weekend was one of those times. Mid 60s, crisp and sunny! Perfect riding weather and RIDE I DID! Every spare moment of the entire weekend ~glorious~ Today, snow and rain mix, the storm front is upon us. So, like you, I wait.

Steve, we in the frozen north have not ‘dead souls,’ but ‘resting’ ones. While the motorcycles are in storage we are taking a rest. A rest is okay provided one does not sit still so long that all others think we are dead and given that we are still replying to blog posts we are most definitely not dead.(PS loved the scooter napping in the snow, obviously has a bit of seasonal affective disorder, needs more rest!)

Chin up! The last dregs of winter always are the hardest to swallow; especially as mother nature teases us with brief warm spells.

Spring really is on the way =)

This is why 500,000 riders converge on Daytona . . . in two weeks. If you lack a week’s time, you can fly down for a long weekend. I’ve even driven down for just a two day stay. Worth it. Rent a scooter when you get there.

Hang in there! The joy of spring is right around the corner and will be all the more sweeter after this “never ending” winter of 2014!

Well, Punxsutawney Phil did predict 6 more weeks of winter weather back on the 2nd, so this continuing assault of winter comes as no surprise to those of us former Punxsutawnyites who know that Phil is infallible. The six weeks will end soon, so we can all hang in there for good riding weather which will be here very soon. For year-round riders like you Steve, I am sure that passable riding days will be here even much sooner!

Steve, cheer up!! At least you get to ride a little. The only joy I get from my bike is pulling into the garage in my wife's car and seeing the reflective strips on the bike cover light up in the headlight beam.

Besides you have Paul back fresh from the continent, doubtless brimming with questionable tales of improbable experiences. That should fill the void nicely.
