i know whay you mean. here in calif we can ride year round except during the fog season. i myself ride from oct till may. to hot to ride when it is 108. so sumer is when i do most of my work on the bike. a little backwards from most of you all but that is the way it is.
Just sitting here looking out at the rain. Summers flying by and fall is in the air. Hope every one had great riding year, I know I have so far. Only had to make one trip in the cage, and it was a drag. On the Valk though, always an adventure. Funny how a piece of machinery can change your attitude and your life the way it does.
