Got a very rare Friday off from work (took some doing) and drove back to Concord, NC via the usual route. With the snow storm on the way, noticed the roads were heavily salted; much more than usual. Storm was expected to be a huge one, especially near the NC/VA border. From what I am hearing, those expectations are being met. I did make a stop at Burlington, NC. Both the new (well, open for a few months) Yamaha dealership and Davis Harley-Davidson were within walking distance of each other. Yamaha dealer was pretty nice, though mostly 09 bikes. Davis I had visited before, and got this photo there of a (believe it is) 2003 Destroyer.
Davis HD has a lot of historic motorcycles on display such as the one at left. It is a nice bike shop, though noticed that both Burlington Yamaha and Davis Harley-Davidson were light on customers. Course, also a big snow was on the way. As I write this, snow is pretty deep outside my window. This weekend will be starting the motorcycle (to run fluids through it, and to give the battery a charge) but will not be riding for sure. Its a white winter wonderland out there today, plus its well below freezing outside. Pretty view with the snow, but will be glad when spring rolls around again. I like quite a few winter events (enjoyed the X-Games on TV last night) but it is certainly a rough season for motorcycling!
