Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! Whatta freakin' buncha Nancys!

Aren't you the same bunch that was bitchin' about the cold a couple months ago? Well, don't worry--couple more months & it'll be winter again. Then I can listen to you bitch about the ice & snow.

Me? I live where there are 2 seasons--Summer & the first week of January. I moved to this hellhole they call Florida for just THAT REASON--I was sick & tired of the cold,gray,gloomy crap that is the Northeast most of the year. Here, it's 90 degrees & sunny for 7 months & I love it! The hotter the better! Don't ride much during the day in July & August, but evenings are perfect. I would much rather ride in the heat than the cold; they're both uncomfortable, but at least hot isn't painful like the cold.

Lol @ dickey, I don't think I complain about the cold too much, but it does get cold here as well.

I hear what you are saying, it's been over 100 almost every day for over a month. We did have a mild winter and I rode at least once a week all winter, never put the battery tender on my scooter. But we are paying for it now.

I agree with Dickey. When it's too fn hot, ride at night. That's what I've been doing lately. Also, Under Armor clothes help a little too.

It has been in the upper 90's to 105 in the past two weeks so I only did about 160 miles a day. I'm 71 and just can't take it like you younger guys.

Sunny and 75 degrees? 60 degree mornings? 70 percent humidity?
Try San Diego.

Speaking of farming it is so hot and dry here in Texas my
better half won't even take root. Oh well I ride every day, that is dry when
I leave out for work.
