Spring! At least for today...
« on: February 23, 2014, 00:31:54 »
It was 60 degrees and sunny in southern Ohio today. Lots of rain over the last few days. Today, the streets are clean of snow and salt. Pulled the cover off my Pagoda, did the California Duster thing, checked the oil and proceeded on a 100 mile road trip with the top down and the side windows up. Just awesome...Pagoda fired up on the first crank. It doesn't get much better than this!

 Glad to hear you got some much needed relief from all that snow and ice back there. Nice way to celebrate with a top down ride and I noticed from your picture, you didn't even have the heater on:-). We are going to give it a go here tomorrow with a nice Sunday drive ourselves. Supposed to be in the mid 70s which is ideal for Top Down rides but rain is what we really want. How about sending your next storm our way?
