June, July and Winter
Returned home from Florida May 1st, only to be greeted by cold, damp, foggy and overcast weather Had a "Frost Warning" mid week to cap things off This is definitely not cycle riding weather! Glad I left my bike in Florida where I hope to return shortly. Playing with the house thermostat the last several days, trying to keep warm, reminded me that I'd much rather be turning the same down to keep cool Should you good folks have a ride ending at the Newfoundland Hotel, I'll just meet you there for a good sandwich
Warm Regards and Safe Riding

P.S. Not a single day above 65 degrees and lack of sun within the "Seven Day Forecast"
I have to laugh, my wife and I just got back from some time in Iceland
We came home to almost the same weather minus maybe the snow[I hope].
I was amazed on the way to the Airport in Iceland we had sun, light rain, heavy rain, rain and sleet, sleet, heavy and I mean heavy snow, then sun and 60 deg by the time we got there.
Not your usual global warming.
I understand about the temps...when the wind is around 16, gusting higher, and you have multiple bridges to go over, that changes the ballgame. That brings the one thing about this bike, you get blown around all over the place, and not the good kind. Just don't enjoy that kind of ride.

My opinion; the F6B can hold its direction in gusty wind a lot better, compared to some other bikes I have had.
Heavy bikes, like my past Triumph 3 and Victory Vision tracked pretty good in the wind as well.
Now my DL650 and my present DR650... get blown around like a potatoe chip
A fork brace does wonders for helping to mitigate that sudden reaction to wind/trailer blast as well, I found the magic in them when I put one on my DL650....

Funny thing about That
First let me say welcome home, Bob!
Then let me ask if there's any super natural reason or why the correlation between your arrival and our current weather conditions. It just seems odd that the weather turned so nasty for riding upon your arrival. Maybe it's because you forgot your bike!!
I personally put close to 2000 miles on my "B" since March. We had a fairly nice April. Even got our first meet, greet and ride from Metamoris to the bakery and up to the hotel in. Now I've put 200 hours in riding the sheets since May 1.
I must say thank you. I'm well rested now!
So I have to ask exactly when are you leaving for FL. I'd like to plan a few more warm dry rides before Americade.
Looking forward to riding with you in the safe months of July and August.
How much an hour do you charge to listen? You know I'm on a pensioner's budget.
I'm glad to hear you learned something riding with me. It's dangerous to sit in traffic behind those self appointed road blocks.
When are you coming back up this way? The deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, chipmunks, turkeys, rabbits, and bears miss you.
