Grounded!

Obviously the riding season is over. Temperatures are below zero and there there is this white stuff on the streets that makes it hard for two wheelers to keep their vehicles under control.

To make the best out of it I spent some time re-reading some of my all-time favorite books:
Ted Simon's Jupiters Travels and Robert M. Pirsig's Zen or the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

and watch some DVDs such as

One Week, a cancer patient's travel from Ontario to Vancouver Island on a beautiful Norton Commando

or
Long Way Round and Long Way Down. The travels of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.

I also found some interesting blogs of fellow riders that I have added to my watch-list, reading with envy that they are still on the road, while I have to stay put.
