The sled season has ended. You waxed your sled and put it
in its resting place for the summer. Not to far away so
you can check on it from time to time but away for now.
You start to wait.
The days get
hot and long and the weatherman, who was your best friend,
is calling for even warmer days ahead. And you wait. You
picnic with your family and make due for now, still checking
the weather out of habit and the jerk keeps talking of warmer
days.
You wait and
wait..Then in late August the days are shorter and your
mind starts to wonder.... you pull the cover off your sled
and crank it up!! Just the smell of the two stroke gets
you excited and now you can't wait! So you swing into your
dealer to see if any of the new sleds have arrived to check
them out, talk it up a little and return home to cover it
back up, just to wait some more.
September arrives
and the grass races and local swap meets start to happen,
your club sends flyers to help with trail work and now things
start to look good and the warm weather and the waiting
is not so bad. October and November the days get really
short your new sled is in the garage and ready to ride.
That jerk,
the weatherman, says chance of snow, maybe a couple inches,
but it keeps turning to rain, you just want to strangle
them. Every night after work you start it up on the stand
you almost got a couple miles on it. JUST TWITCHEN to go
for a ride. Yet there is still some waiting.
Now early
December, Every day you check TC. com to see if anyone has
snow. Your best friend ,the weatherman, says flurries tonight
with a couple more inches on the ground, and heavy lake
affect in New York!! Now the Time has come(Dec 15th in some
places) you put your friends together, you traveled to your
favorite ride site, unloaded and you take off!!!
It was everything
you remembered and more!! The waiting is over !!Yes the
season is underway and nothing can stop you now. As you
ride, those long hot summer days are long gone!! It was
definitely worth the wait!!!
(good one!)
