stave off the no-bike blues?

The cold has pretty much wiped the road of bikers here (Alpharetta) and I'm assuming a lot of folks will hibernate until spring.

What do you do to keep the hobby alive in winter?

I bought a new taillight (BAL-1) from KCHD and installed it on Saturday.

There's the Great American Motorcycle Show the weekend of the 24th that I'll be attending.

I may head over to Hellbender Harley (is this just a rebranded Earl Smalls?).

Anything else going on locally?

Keep riding. Just get the right gear.

Its not to cold as long as there isn't freezing rain.

HellBenders is just Earl's with a new name. Same great folks.

Rub on it in the garage... or "plug in" & ride it.

As long as the temps are 40 and above and not raining, I am out on the bike - even if just a short ride.

I like the 50/50...less than 50% chance of rain and above 50 temp...

We just rode all the way to Key West and back. Sure, it was pretty chilly leaving GA. And down right nipply from Tampa north after the front moved through. Just wear layers and go for it!
