Today is the official start of Winter, according to the Jeremy Blanchard Motorcycling Calendar. Why is it today, you ask? Today, I have put away my 2006 Yamaha FZ1 for the winter and have winterized my shed to bring the snow blower to the forward and ready position.

To my FZ1, I say “Sleep tight, I’ll see you in March.” To my snow blower, I say “Let’s hope it’s worth it and we get dumped on several times this year.”

Thanks for reading and happy riding (or plowing, whatever the case may be).
