How much

I guess summer has come to a close and while there is still some good riding weather left (some have more than others) its going to be winter before you know it. I dont put mine away during the winter but it does have to sit more than I like.

At the beginning of riding season I was curious if I would ride more or less during the 2nd summer back on a bike.

So I was looking back and I have put right at 9k on mine since April which is better than I got to do last summer. Bike has almost 16k on it now.

Looks like its like mods. The more you do the more addictive it is LOL

Damn... I feel bad for you northern folk. I'd hate not being able to ride year round!

But, that gives you an excuse to do some more mods though!

Yeah.... Winter is for mods... Its good tho, unlike you who can ride all year, when the bike is down you cant ride... For us, when we can ride, we work on 'em... Winter sucks tho... I'd love to be able to ride everyday.

I feel your pain, I think I missed a total of 4 days riding last year due to ice. NM is great for bike riding!

A real man would put studs or chains in the tires to ride in the snow and ice.

Seriously though, I feel your pain. Hard to believe the summer is coming to a close.

I can't remember a time in my life when I've been so disappointed in summer coming to a close. I only got 5000 miles on my bike this summer due to my job. There are a few things I want to get done with her through the winter, so that's a bonus I guess..
