Its been a cold wet summer here in NE Ohio. I was hoping for Indian summer. Or at least a few warm days. I will ride in the cold ,but warm weather is always better.

 

The weather here in Virginia was actually really great this year.

I hardly ever drove my car to work. My mileage was up.

Kind of rainy this week though.

 

I was ok till I crashed on Labor Day weekend.
Haven't been able to ride since. Will end this year down a little I suppose.
Depends on my leg. Go to the Doctor again Monday. Maybe he'll turn me lose.

 

I am down from my first year on this bike about 5k, but not due to the weather.

 

Down also

 

I am down also in my mileage. It seems to only rain when I am off and the rest of the time I can't get free unless I neglect something.

 

I am down as well in spite of riding out to Sturgis in August. Without that trip I would be way down. And with the way October has been all I can do is hope for a mild November...but that is unlikely. It will be a cold ride down to Port Dover on Friday the 13th.

 

I work for the Gov't, so I can't ride in in the rain......normally wouldn't bother me to ride in the rain, hell it's just water! But, can't afford to screw up my "work" clothes......also, for me, life had a way of gettin in the way of ridin this year. Picked up my 'o8 RG in Aug of '08 and as of today only got about 7G and change on her.......not normal for me!!!! But, that being said, I don't put 'er up for the winter, so any day the roads are free from ice and snow or salt, I'm ridin.

 

I only managed roughly 1500 miles

 

I'm up a little over 5k from last year, but last year (the last 29 actually), I didn't ride at all. Got my RK in March this year. Haven't been on a bike enuff to speak of since the hit and run azzhole ran me down on Valentine's Day, 1980. Wasn't scared, just never got back into it since then. Took over 3 years to recover enuff to even think about ridin again. By that time I all but lost interest, with life takin up most of my time. Bein back on 2 wheels again pretty much pulled me out of my miserable existance.
