It hasn't been real cold here. I just enjoy good old T-shirt riding weather.

RE: Winter riding
Yeah...I'm not a huge fan of riding in cool weather if I have to go far. I drive 62 miles one way to work. I won't get the bike out and ride to work right now because it's still in the lower 40s in the mornings. I just don't like having to bundle up like an eskimo to stay warm! Takes some of the enjoyment out of it.

RE: Winter riding
Hey Doug,
Glad to here that you healed up and can get back on the road, I use to own some land in Brandywine WV about 25 years and two wifes ago
Some nice riding as long as they kept piping in the sunshine!!

I spent from about 1:00 PM to 400 PM going around town doing errands. Stopped by HD and got a new oil filter. Went to sit on my favorite RoadKing and it had a SOLD sign on it, and I ain't sitting on someone elses brand new bike. I told the guys at the dealership they owed the bbuyer a new seat, since I think I wore that one out, and I hoped they gave him a good deal on that used 2008 RoadKing.
After gettng my 1st 50 miles or so in going around Winchester, I decided to go to Hardees and get a sandwhich.......... The Hardees I had in mind is in Petersburg, WV about 70 miles from my house. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was 73 degrees in Moorefield, WV and 72 in Petersburg................ Friggin summertime.
The sun was setting when I left Petersburg, and the temps started dropping pretty quick after that. Started thinking I should've worn the chaps........... Gets cold in those valleys.
Oh well, got in about 175 miles all together........... sure hope gas doesn't go over $5 a gallon for super
Glad you got to ride too Jay.
