It has been pretty decent around here for riding in the last few weeks.  I wish I had not stored the bike away so soon.  It has been above freezing, and sometimes into the double digits.  I even sae a guy out on his Harley today.  Although, it was -4C today, and not a good idea to be riding when ice can be on the roads.  Yesterday was nice.



If global warming is happening...why is it so cold up here?

Not to rub it in...

Florida. I'll be riding tomorrow! I washed and waxed the bike today. Good times.

May 2016???  UGH!!!!  I don't know how you guyz can live up there in Canada.. :laugh:  I'm far ENOUGH north living on the IL/WI border!  Our typical riding season begins in early to mid March..and ends usually in around mid November...for a typical year.    Problem around here which is just worst the farther north you go is the availability of sunlight.  Right now it's roughly only about 8.5 hrs or so between sunrise and sunset...and getting worst...

I might be able to get another ride in later this week...definitely on Sunday in where nearly 50 degrees is expected..which is rare around here in early Dec.  Even still...one can only ride from about noon to about 3pm...then the Sun begins setting and the temperature drops FAST...with ice forming...

Last weekend's ride lasted about 3-4 hours or so...and on the way home I was freezing...Took me a short while to warm up with some hot chocolate and schnaps...
