Default Rain.....

Man I wish this f'n rain would stop.. Now don't get me wrong I will ride in it but thats only a "have to" and I just wanna ride. Hope tomorrow is better for cruisin' the coast.. I'm gonna be there either way just riding the beach on 90 checking all those cool old cars out. Cheers to all you guys that got to ride today and thanks for letting me ramble....Many safe miles ahead to all of us...

Yep... Mine's over too... Went from rain to snow with only a day or so in between... A few die hards are out freezing in this 34* weather... But not I... Says the guy with no windshield or fairing...

I can get out the dirtbike for a few laps in the yard. BUT... It's just not them same as hearing the Harley THUNDER!! Time to crawl under my rock for a few months...

My riding season is just starting here in Texas. I have grown very intolerant of the summer heat and have been waiting for the temp to drop. It wont get down to 30's or 40's for another couple months, and even then we'll have a few 50/60 degree days every month into January and Febuary. Planning on getting out on the bike tomorrow. Now if it will just stop raining.

We have had so much rain it's unbelievable. And, the rainy season just started.

Pretty much all year riding here but you have to dress for it in the winter. Sometimes I don't know what's worse: riding in 105 deg or 40 deg.

Year-round riding here too...

Well, at least once or twice a month in the winter....

I'm from the Snow Belt in Northern Michigan, so Southwestern Virginia is easy.
