Just a typical day to us fair weather riders - and yea, it really gets hot in the summer down here in the Sunshine State. No state income tax and a 12 month riding season kinda make up for it though LOL!

Been there and done that in the Adirondacks. Spent some riding time in the Lake Placid area and have to admit that upstate NY is an absolutely beautiful part of this country. I lived for years in upstate Michigan so the cold and snow is nothing new to me. Been around Florida's gulf coast for over twenty years now and could never go back. I do miss the seasons however.
Ya... but Floriduh is .....soooo flat. And boring.
Nothing but straight, boring roads. Boring... except for the numerous, gray haired mouth breathers whom didn't see ya when they cut you off.

Wussies one and all. 68 degrees today. Did 240 miles on some of the twistiest roads you will find. MO has some of the greatest MC roads in our Nation. I feel sorry for the Florida contingent.
[QUOTE=shooter;101700]Hey, that was really a great reply and obviously well thought out. What are wussies anyway? Kind of makes me feel inferior. I'll have to go out to the garage and have a talk with that blue motorcycle sitting out there and see what she thinks about me always being on top . . . . . . Ok, she said I could ride her any time and not to feel inferior, just be sure to stay on the flat roads, maybe a drive along the ocean would be nice.
Oh snap, what a great reply. I just came back from a 40 mile ride; it is 43 F outside and windy. A little chilly, but roads were dry, scenery on the Lake Ontario shoreline was great, and the F6B/Madstad combo keeps me fairly warm with just some long underwear, jeans, pull-over and armor jacket.
When my bike goes away, the snowmobiles come out. I still like riding sleds more than bikes, though those two are getting closer each year. I ride about 2500 miles per year all over NYS snowmobile trails, and have a camp up north in an area that gets 200" of snow annually.
Come late March, early April…out comes the bike for another 7-8 months. I enjoy the time away; snowmobiling as more safe, more exhilarating, and when I get sick of that sport, it is time for the bike to come out anyway.
You guys are just jealous . . . .
