Default Who got to ride there Harley this weekend?

Man this winter has been the worst for me so far that I can remember in 10 years. WET, COLD, SNOW, ICE, More COLD, More WET.

I have only been able to ride once since the first of the year and that was to the dealer for service.

Today I get out of church around 12:15 and it is 62 degrees and light rain. Get home and start messing in the man cave and the rain stops and the wind picks up and actually dries the road. Gets up to 67 degrees! I tell the wife I am going for an hour long ride. Suit up and I'm about to uncover the bike when the rain comes again!!!!

Let me hear from you guys that got a ride in this weekend.

How about some of us that wanted to but 8" of fresh snow and 20 degrees outside kept us from riding. (Sure could use some wind therapy but being in Michigan that might be a while

Yeah you remind me of the old saying "It could always be WORSE"!

It was a beautiful day here, high temperature was around 85F. I got in a ride up through Little Talbot and Big Talbot Islands to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach.

When I got out of church this morning it was still too cold to enjoy, and slick in a few spots. So to answer your question truthfully I must confess Not Me, but that is what I bought my Jeep for, and I'm fixing to go back to church in it again in about another twenty minutes.

A few of us did a 450 mile round trip for lunch yesterday, working today, retiring at the end of the week.

Just a short 100 mile trip today. Started out wearing leather jacket. Then long sleeve shirt and vest. Rode home via the coast highway. Beautiful ride. Needed to do it to remind myself why I put up with all the California BS.

I have managed to ride every weekend this year.Today was day#11. Luckily the only snow we have gotten this year happened during the week and was gone by the weekend.
