Weather forecast, Fred Marmotte, WiartonWillie , and ShubenacadieSam have predicted an early spring! Only Punxsutawney Phil disagreed. Time to dust off the bike? 😄

India's Republuc Day parade and their motorcycle contingent showed their skills on 350cc Enfields, check it out! (I cannot do any of it on my 1200cc bike 😲)
