I ride for leisure on my days off and during vacations. The days of having to commute in heavy downtown/freeway traffic are behind me. I will be retired in two years and will have ample time to catch up on my riding on days/times/locations of my choosing. Really looking forward to many overnight trips into wine country (Temecula). Hopefully my travels will cross paths with some of you.
Some good input here, but I think most didn't get the point I was trying to make. It's not that I envy people who can(or do)ride all year, it's just the fact that when I can ride all I want during the Spring, Summer, & Fall, I think of every reason there is to not ride, yet during the Winter months when the bike is in storage I'm chomping at the bit to get out. Some years I can't wait for September to roll around so I can put the bike up because I've ridden all I care to whether it's 300 or 6000 miles. I've been retired for 20 years now, and the 1st couple of years I was riding an average of 200 miles a day on my Valkyrie. I just don't seem to have the desire for trips anymore and wondering if I should hang it up. I'm not asking anyone to make that decision for me, just putting it out there.
