I would hate to have to winterize my bikes. It just seems cruel. December 1st and was riding today in shorts. 75 degrees.

I’m glad I can’t ride all year. It makes me really appreciate the times when I can ride and it gives me a break to do other stuff during the winter.

Rub it in why don’t you! I’m not a fan of cold, winter, snow and certainly not a fan of winterizing my bikes. Not in any position to skip town either. I rode through coastal GA/SC/NC back to MA a couple of months back. Would’ve loved to have hung my hat in Charleston!

Yeah, right! That's like saying you're glad the Bills are in the AFC East so you can cheer for the Sabres in Jan.

Just wait until the real cold hits then winterize it. Ride until you can there’s some great winter gear out there Good Riding.

I ride year round as well but don't go busting others chops about it. Well, not on purpose...

Oh yeah, shorts? STOOPID but JMO.
