Hope you have the winter upgrades all lined up to keep you engaged.

Can't beat the weather in FL but now we have all the snow birds coming ... gotta pay attention more.

A high of 76 and sunny here today. But I feel your pain, I was stationed in Central Michigan for three years, and those winters can be brutal. Love New Mexico!

Winter is good for extra cash. (plowing) That money goes to winter storage for things such as monkey bars, new painted inner fairing, chrome controls....

I would love to move to the south. But got a good job and the family is here.

I try to ride year-round. Normally here we can squeak out at least a few days a month even during Dec, Jan, Feb. They're predicting a bad one here this year though so who knows.......
