Smile 20 Nov and still ridin'

This riding season has been the worst on record here in MO......but, that being said, got to ride to work this morning. Left the house at approx. 0645 and the temp was less than 40. Very refreshing ride in to say the least! But the ride home at 60+, now that's what I'm talking about! I never put the bike up for the winter, there's always a day when you can get out and the roads are clear. Ridin' is my therapy.....without it I'm like a junkie without a fix......lol. Almost took the truck, but said to myself: Self, you need to get your *** in the saddle and get a smile on ya face! Glad I listened to me......Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm a Scysophrinic (sp?) and so am I! Ride on brothers and sisters, ride on!

OK people from the southern tier shouldn't be allowed to reply to a post like this.It's chilly here in SW Pa but I don't put my bike up for the winter either cause you never know when one of those days are going to pop up.Ride safe brothers and sisters.

I was just cracking a joke because I feel your pain, I spent 40 years in Ohio before moving to Fl. I know a little about winter!!

In the 40's with rain today. Still managed to ride to lunch and back. Gotta keep riding. Once I pull out the battery tender I will have admitted defeat. Hoping that doesn't happen until there is snow on the ground.
