Yup, this morning when I left for my office it was a glorious 68 degrees. My RK and I were in heaven. Almost a touch of fall here in beautiful S. Florida.

Winter is coming so I'll have to get out my riding sweater!

Yup.

South Florida huh.....just gotta rub it in...don't yah. We already have had some s.....sn....sno.....snow (there I said it) on the higher passes. Insurance runs out end of Oct, but still have a couple rides left. This weekend is the Oyster Run and a toy run in a couple weeks, then it's done till spring. I'll be thinkin about you guys in the south. Now it's time to go buy a new snow shovel.

HDRider,

Is your MC insurance governed by the seasons?

We ride all winter here in Arkansas.
Not as much as in the warm month, but a lot of Toy Runs to attend and several nice days during the winter months.

As long as no snow or ice on the roads, you can ride all winter. Just have to put on the right clothing. IMHO
