Now that its getting cooler and moist all the wallet bikers have put there bikes away and hopped in the suv's. Now all I see are the 5 or 6 regulars on the road. Winters coming!

It's really tapered off in the mornings here. Used to see 4 or 5 bikes on the road on the way to work. Now seeing maybe 2. When the temps are in the 40's, I'm usually the only one out there, until it warms up later in the day.

When it starts raining or it drops below 30deg it gets real lonely around here. Kinda nice!

And I thought we had the worst bikers. Around here is if it is under 60,or over 85 you don't see a bike on the road.

This time of year when all the fair weather riders start coming out around here. It doesn't get colder until December and the summer heat/humidity is brutal, so late September into October is prime riding weather.
