Spring arriving? Not! By silverfox96 (Read 393 times)

I live in the east central part on Indiana, where the temps this time of year are a bit fickle to say the least. One day it's 65 to 70 and the next is 25 to 35! Not quite ready to get the scoot out yet. Looks as if it's gonna be another two weeks or so. The first part of April, I'm going to have to ride to Elwood, which is a good 38 to 40 mile one way to take the mc endorsement operating test. Not worried about the test at all, since it is a very simple course, but I think I'll trailer my scoot over there and then ride it in to the test area. Can't trailer it directly to the test area, though. State law says that you have to ride it in! I know, crazy!
But after all, this is Indiana. The BMV has nothing to do with the testing in this state! They have "partnered" with Abate and that is who conducts the tests. Upon passing the test they issue a certification that you take to the BMV, if you can find one open, and present it for your endorsement. I cana't wait for the weather to break and see the sun every day. I'm sick of the dark gloomy cloudy days!

Hi Neighbor,
I am north and west of you in Burb of Chi, you get little warmer weather than us due to being little further south. It is almost 60 out nice and sunny BUT the winds are 20-30 mph. If the winds would die down it would be nice for rideing BUT NO damn winds also make it feel much colder actually chilly when its 60 out.

Alley, you are exactly right about the wind chill! These 72 year old bones of mine do not take kindly to chilly rides like they use to! LOL I can wait a couple of weeks more, Maybe !

I know what it's like up there guys, I grew up in Toledo. Just when you think you have winter beat it comes back with a vengence and bites you. I remember that when you got motorcycle insurance up there they only did the liability for 6 months at a time knowing you wouldn't be riding. I honestly don't miss anything about those winters, I had enough. Good luck on the test SF, but it doesn't sound like you need it. Rich
