My Fat Boy is getting bored under that cover, and I'm getting antsy looking out that window.
Getting tired of watching people moto camping on youtube. My gear is ready, lets go already.
I got 6000 miles to do this spring/summer. Got places to be, roads to be on for no reason, moto meet ups to make friends at.
Dealerships to annoy with my presence for the free food on Saturday!

On behalf of everyone in the north, please refrain from telling us about your year-round riding. Thank you

Ty for that statement bduds65....lol Im lucky im in 1/2 way between the north and the south im in NC and yes it is cold in the mornings (27-39 degrees ) but the temperature goes up to (55-60) in the afternoon just in time to get off work so dealing with the freezing temp in the morning for 20 min ride is worth in the afternoon on the LONG way home 2 hours......lol.

I have too few days left to me on this planet to waste time wishing any of them away.

Besides, spring will mean a bunch of work to do on the house instead of riding all the time.

Even if it was riding weather here tomorrow there's so much damn ice and snow on my street I couldn't leave the driveway lol. I just start it 3-4x a week and let it idle in the garage. Haven't even put 5 miles on it since the cam swap 2 months ago. I'm fiending

Don't do this.
This harms the engine. It's better to leave it sit and keep it on a battery tender than it is to start it and not ride it.

Year-round riding and legal lane splitting are the only reasons I have lived in Southern California my whole life!
