I'm sure many of you have a pride and joy you're storing through this never ending "polar vortex." What do you have in storage and when is it going to stretch its legs for the first time in 2014?

It has been the most brutal, cold, salt-crusted winter perhaps ever. I thought April 12th, set back in October, was being overly cautious, but now I may have to push it back to give time for the biblical rains we'll need to wash away the salt and to give the road crews time to somewhat fix the craters on every road here in Michigan.

EDIT: Pardon the potato photo, I didn't have my Nikon on me.

I'll usually bring mine out after we've had 2-3 days of rain followed by dry, warmer (50s-60s) just to make sure most of the salt has washed away...but this year that's happened twice followed by more snow. So it's like a bear going back into hibernation twice. It's supposed to hit 70 and be sunny today...but possible snow next week. What a weird winter.

i've been thinking about this too. There was a cars and coffee that weekend.... but the roads keep getting salted!!! There are a couple small projects so part of me is thinking that there is no rush.

Seeing as my baby is blocking his in, I guess it depends on when the bf wants his Mustang out, and he's back from Arizona next week. We're also in Michigan, and once it's back in the 60s I'd almost rather have the bike for ease of avoiding potholes and because the Jeep I'm dd'ing needs some work.
Picture taken in December, we've been checking on them every month or so.

Agreed, I am thinking May 3rd the way the snowbanks still look.

Two weeks ago even though they are calling for snow this wed. As long as it's warm enough for the 555Rs it's warm enough for me this year. Got cabin fever something awful.

Brought mine out this week. Haven't driven it since October. Will be going into shop to add a few mods next week, but should be ready for track and street by the end of April.
