Hmmm...
I think I'm the only NoDak on this board.
It's lonely (and kinda cold).

Northern Minnesota is not very conducive to two wheelers right now, unless Your studded. -33f this morning at My house, that is with no wind thank goodness. I see International Falls hit -40 this morning. I dream of riding but have to settle for snowmobiling? I love to ride My sled and My bike, but like living on an island some times You have to wait for the ice. I have a friend who lives on an island, 3 months of the year the only way to get there would be by hover-craft, (which He doesn't have).Lives off the grid as well.

Hi
:) enjoyed reading your comments (except where cyclerob suggested to replace Africa with Aussie land) :( . Here in South Africa there is this stupid tendency to talk about "Autralasia" as if Australia and Asia are one and the same.

I don't know whether I'm on your poll yet, but I'm from South Africa (and cyclerob, I don't want to be added to Australia). They are poor cricket players and even worse rugby players. How well they ride BMW's remains to be seen. :D
