It's just now getting to be "leather weather" here.

Hope you can take your bikes out early next year.

Ya Know....

If I had a HUGE garage, I wouldn't need to put the bike down for the winter. Unfortunately, I've got a two car garage, with four cars worth of crap in it.

Yup, east Cleveland gets dumped on. I worked in Euclid, but lived on the west side. Sat in Municipal a few times watching the Browns and freezing my nubblies off.

in the early 80s i had a yamaha 650 special, in baltimore, that's all i had. rode it every day rain or shine, when it snowed i walked. it fired up in below 30's no problem. i'm pretty sure i abused her, but she krpt on goin.

It was 40 degrees when I rolled out this morning, a little chilly ride in but was into the low 50's by the time I was coming home later in the day.
