We are alive and well in Austin, TX.  I suspect the Dallas-Ft. Worth and OK bunch are hibernating -- and feel certain that no one north of OKC is riding.  Not sure we have any members in Buffalo, NY ---

Well, last week I saw Brad riding while I was getting around town for work.  And I've been commuting to work on the dirt bike all week.  Living this far south I'm a firm believer that we should all be 'Rounders'  (people who ride all year round)

The best part was Tuesday morning, the inside of my faceshield froze over from the condensation of my breathe.  That was pretty cool.  But it did make it hard to see  :shock:

Fixing on this weekend to install new (used) water pump and seals to fix the leaking bit,, as well as new battery.  Glad I have a connected garage... I can crank up the heat in the house and just open the door for a heated garage!   :-D

Me too ... actually rode to work today as temperatures had moderated a bit (got to the upper 40's on the Island).  Thankfully nothing like what's going on in the north west part of the state ... My thoughts & prayers are with those affected by this unprecedented snowfall.

I am slow to the party but I'm around, alive, well and kicking. I did put a large screen on my scooter after I located a kind guy who lives in France secured and forwarded a mount, the only mount I could locate anywhere across the globe, he was my last hope.

I suppose like everyone else I have been checking the website, didn't see any new posts and I just moved on to something else.

I guess its never to early to talk about a get together for 2015.

I am planning on making a trip to North Carolina again next May to do the Blue Ridge area again.

Anybody game for MOOTMaG 2015?

What about wrench sessions?

Anybody got any ideas about building the membership in Texas and the surrounding states?

...expand the membership base to MOOOTLAAF  (Magna Owners Of Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, and Floridah)

Have to include 'Floridah' for at least one current member  :lol:

The really great part about these joint replacements is the rehab runs pretty quick so I have been told and it gives you back your life.

Now if somebody could just figure out a way to totally replace eyeballs ...

Except they would be digital and I'm not that big on digital, I favor analog.

I think that's called a seeing eye dog.

Well, yeah, but is that a digital dog?  I don't think an analog dog would be acceptable to everyone here...

Had mine replaced 5 years ago and had to do the same thing.  Mine went very well and I was back on the bike much earlier then I "should" have been.  As someone said, the replacements are a great thing.  Within a few years I will need to get the other side done, as I seem to have a bad case of FUJ (Freaked Up Joints...).
