As a former Chicago boy that came to Colorado almost 30 years ago, I've really grown to love winters here. Admittedly, I've told some folks from Texas and California that it snows pretty much every day from Halloween to Easter and the pictures they've seen of the mountain snow is what we get all winter long here along the front range. Ok so maybe that wasn't a good idea but it does keep the congestion on the roads down a bit.
There is something invigorating about being on a motorcycle in January with the temperature around freezing and the air a little crisp on your skin. You are more immersed in the landscape on a bike that you miss when you are in a car or truck.
Now that the big holidays are out of the way and the Christmas tree and lights are packed away for another year, it's time to start thinking about racing. If you've followed the blog you know that the Geezer Gears Racing Team is in the process of looking for a new trailer for the upcoming season.
There's a fine art to looking for a trailer - getting the features you need at a price that stays under our wive's radar. Roger, our team rider, and I went to the RV show in Denver earlier this month to see what's out there. I gotta say that trailers have come a long way in the past few years - slide out porches, flat screen TV's on the outside, solar panels, LED lighting, backup cameras, and the list goes on and on.
We talked with several vendors about trailers to get a sense as to where the industry is headed in the years to come. The bulk of the toy haulers we saw were for fifth wheelers but there were several smaller tow behind trailers with fewer options than their larger counterparts.
While we're still not sure which direction to go we know we'll have to make a decision soon if we want to have something for this season. The hunt goes on!
The new racing plastic has been ordered for this season - can't wait to see that on the bike. It's time to start a list of 'to-do's to get ready for this season. What's on your 'to-do' list?
See ya at the track!
