I’ve had the air conditioning shut off and all the windows and doors open in the house for four days now and it looks like that may be it for the summer!!! About time!! It seemed rather longer than usual this year. Great riding weather has finally returned to Arizona and ironically the air conditioning on the bike is working again.  |

I'll come and get your Valk and bring it out to Arizona where it can have a vacation. I'll show it all the great spots and take very good care of it. I'll even send you photo's of all the places it's visited. |

I'm not a fan of AC. My wife and I didn't grow up with it. I'd never turn it on at all but she makes me when it gets over 100 degrees. When it stopped being upper 90s we turned it off. That seems like months ago but probably wasn't. The fans and open windows have been nice. Now the fans are off. The windows are finally closing at night. We are still a few weeks away from turning on the heat so life is good.
I'm hoping winter isn't going to sneak in early but so far we're having fine NC riding weather.

black dog, i know you messing with me!! if it wasn't for guys like smokin-joe, and those southerners writting about how much fun they're having while we're snowed in, it wouldn't be so bad. it's just like being sick and stuck in the house while your friends are all out playing!! Cruzen, you can come by and get the cycle, there's only one problem, i'll be in the saddle bag!!  |

Map quest showing 672 to 771 miles from me to you. Point being i've ridden my fat girl every month of the year down here. I can relate to sucky winters cuz i'm originally from the chain of lakes area in northen Illinois. Think Waukegan Il Kenosha Wi area. I'm not as far south as some and not way out west but i have more good riding days than bad ones. Wish the wallet would let me ride more than it does.  In the first year i've owned the fat girl i still managed 12202 miles on her. And B T W-no way in h3ll do i miss that weather up there.  Seems like as we age the winters feel a LOT longer. RIDE SAFE. |
