Nice to hear you Northeners are finally getting out. I've been riding off and on all year but we haven't have much of a winter this year.

I retired when February started and moved back to MI the next day. Day after that I went for a ride. They cleared the roads and it warmed up to 12F that day.

I doubt you would change your riding habits much if you moved up north. I have been off and on too this winter. Couple weeks the snow was so bad I only got out once a week. Been out riding everyday the past month.


The south is worse. Bugs, spiders that kill, roaches. Riding in 100+ temps with humidity almost as bad. I still rode but its much more comfortable to ride no bugs and 10F than 100 and bugs as thick as the humidity. I will never go south again. Hated it other than in the winter when the heat kinda calmed down.

I got my first ride of 2014 in today!
I was riding b!tch with my 12yo daughter steering her(?) 74 Honda CT90.
I loved it, she was hooting the whole time.
Did push the shovel from shed to garage, with wife, daughter and 3 long narrow pieces of plywood. Winter is done, but it is a sea of mud here.
I wish you all a safe and joyful ride in 2014. ( yes, kind of like NYE for me )
Cheers!

Been out for a few rides so far this year. Be careful with all that sand still on the roads!
