It's January in Chicago. Break out the Swim Suits

Normally, the above image would be typical for January in Chicago. It would be cold, a decent amount of snow on the ground and dreaming for salt free roads to ride on. The weather was recorded at a record high of 61 in the Windy City yesterday. We are expecting the same temps today as well. Although I did not ride yesterday, I did manage to get the bike out for a quick wash.

The above picture was taken from http://blogs.motorbiker.org. The rest of the caption read as, "A parked motorcycle is covered in snow in Bucharest January 3, 2008. Heavy snow blanketed Romania and Bulgaria on Thursday, cutting power to hundreds of towns and villages, blocking roads and forcing Bucharest's two airports and some Black Sea ports to close.
