Sad day...

[Paul B Blues]

Took my last ride of a very short season three weeks ago! Snow on the hills, and the roads were salted once already. Roll on 2016...

Once they sand the roads, I'm done. Even the day I got hit last year in April, I had to go through sand at the end of an off ramp. My season ended a half mile up the road.

Not sure I would buy a bike if I could only ride it 8-9 months out of the year...just sayin....

So then probably 50 to 60% of the motorcycle owners in the US shouldn't buy bikes? That's ludicrous. 9 months of pleasure don't sound too bad to most of us. Its kinda like that reverse gear thing. If you live in an area where there is only 8or 9 months riding , you don't know there is anything else. Besides , there has to be time for mods.

Steve, don't forget when it's " too hot " for you southern guys to ride, like July and August

Seriously though...I was in Houston in July a couple of summers ago, and I saw one or two bikes on the road in about 5 days.

Heck , I live in MO. It can be 0 degrees or 100 degrees. How many states can say that. A wuss like Steve wouldn't last 6 months around here.

Couldn't have said it any better. 8 or 9 months is better than none at all.

Hey lets not talk or even think about today's rainy 45 degree weather here in NE PA !
The forecast for next week is in the sixty's with even some sun
I ain't ate no turkey and it ain't over yet.

Mid 70's and sunny.

We have a pretty short riding season up here Steve, but for me it more about the freedom from my wheelchair. I only managed 12 rides this year, but it's about quality more then quantity. Here's next weeks forecast, and more snow on the way...
