Searching Craigslist for Motos

So I pretty much look at almost all the Craigslist motorcycle listings for Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Northern Colorado, and Oregon on a daily basis. And I copy and paste bikes I am interested in into a sticky note on my iGoogle page for future price referencing. Here is what I have so far....as you can tell, I want a big dirt bike! Currently leading the running is an XR600. Air cooled, simple, bomber, powerful. And can be had for cheap! Lots of parts available too. Gotta wait for an improved economic outlook though....

26 degree commute!

Rode to work today. Left my house at 30 degrees, and when I got there my thermometer read 26 degrees! It actually wasn't too bad. I got a windproof fleece neck gaiter and that pretty much saves me. I thought before the coldest I could comfortably go in was closer to 40, but now I know I am fine much colder than that! Which means I will ride most every day from here on this year. Sweet!
