I fill my tank and put in the garage thinking the same thing. Either the next day or a couple of days later it is rideable weather again. So like a boyscout, I am always prepared to ride!

Makes ya wish for global warming.

Glad I live where year round riding is possible. The heat can be a bi*** in summer, but winters are pretty mild.

Did my last ride today as my insurance runs out tomorrow. 2 1/2 hours round trip to the next town on the most popular mc roads in the area. Not one other bike out - cold. Supposed to snow in the next couple of days. It sure was nice getting in the saddle one last time though.

If there is no ice or snow on the roads, why can't you ride?

Default why park?

I'ts not bad this time of year down here in La. but even if it's raining like it does a lot in winter I still have to ride,which leads me to spend a lot of time polishing my chrome and that is my opporunity to check over my bike and make sure everything is still good and tight. Never forget these two wheel machines will bite you if you dont! Thats what i tell myself anyway.
