H.M.T. Sponsors F.Y.B.O. 2012, This Weekend
It's F.Y.B.O. again!
HMT will be there sponsoring the event again (one of our favorites!) and there will be free shirts awarded at the raffle as well as other goodies for your rally bag. Look for the Thunder Hauler on Saturday to pick-up your HMT threads.
It's not usually that cold once the sunshine warms it up from 29 degrees to about 50. Here's a couple tips for staying warm and stylish.
1.) Wear long johns and sweats under jeans.
2.) Do the same on top, so you can remove layers once you warm up. Wear 4 or 5 layers under your leather (including an official Her Majesty's Thunder t-shirt of course)
3.) Take an old t-shirt (or flannel or fleece) and cut out a square face scarf. Fold in half for a double layer.
4.) Apply tiny amount of dish soap inside your goggles to keep from fogging. Wipe off (but don't rinse).
4.) Lined gauntlet gloves.
Now stop crying about being cold and scared of today being Friday the 13th. Layer up and ride.
And say your prayers.

F.Y.B.O. 2011 photos
FYBO indeed! Her Majesty's Thunder is now a regular sponsor of the event with t-shirt giveaways and shop rag swag. It was just 29 degrees when I headed out last Saturday morning to the Freeze Your Balls Off event in Durham, NC. I had about a 40 minute ride ahead of me, but my snowballs were plenty bundled. This was a personal new record for cold riding - previously, 36 degrees was my lowest. I met up with Daniel from Fistful of Choppers along the way which was great - a cool guy (even when it's warmer).
The event is put on by the Incriminators Scooter club at the Fullsteam Brewery there in Durham, NC. Not as many people attended as in 2010 (heck is was 25 degrees warmer) but there were still plenty of scooters and a few motorcycles. The TonUpNC guys were there and they led the hour-long country ride when the temp was still only about 40. There was still ice on the ground in some areas but the roads were mostly clear. The Moped Army of seven showed up to swarm and destroy which was great if not smileworthy. With the noise coming from around the corner, I was sure the junior Shriners were coming. Nice to see more custom two-wheelers anyway.
I'll definitely go again next year.
