I grew up in Detroit and it seemed like there was a Biker bar every mile or so. Now i understand why. I go a couple days without riding and it feels like my skin is crawling. Good thing it doesn't rain much here in Phoenix.

What do you mean we don't ride? I'm off work this week and rode 75 miles on my snowmobile today.

during the winter I try to ride at least once a month, that keeps me going. If I can't do that...then I get a bit edgy

it may get above 32' on Friday, hopefully it will melt the 2" of ice that been covering the street. Started out as snow but now its been polished to NHL specs by the cars spinning their tires on it for the last week. Gotta love winter...

hopefully the rain will wash all of that brine crap off of the roads. I don't like that stuff touching my bikes. It messed with the rims on one of my Hondas

Well, let's see here....

I can't afford to move to a warmer climate. Just can't take that big of a loss on the house. So.
I have the option of riding in the rain/cold/slush/snow/yuk. I have the OPTION, not the REQUIREMENT.

Riding, for me, is the greatest thing, but not when the elements conspire to make me & my wife miserable. That's why we have a couple of ford trucks. HOWEVER...

When we're about halfway through spring, I imagine I'll be parking my truck until sometime in November...

Not riding the Ultra for 5months sucks the big one but strapping on a set of downhill skis helps. Can't wait til I retire and get somewhere out west.
