90F today
Yes, 90 degree temp at noon today here. Hopefully we will get a cold front sunday or monday to have cool 65-70 degree. We pretty much ride year round. It think is harder to ride in the summer than in winter. You don't feel very comfortable riding at 115 degree heat in mid june, just ask all the guys coming back from ROT Rally a couple of months ago.
Anyway, ride as much as you can!

NEVER give up!!!! Well, maybe in alaska...I'm in New England and we get some pretty good winters, but not comparable to your situation!!! Down here, if we get a warm day (+40 degrees or higher/no wind/sun/roads decent), I usually go for a scoot and charge the battery/get the fluids moving. A couple years ago a buddy stopped me in the grocery store and said he saw a crazy bastard going down rt 2 doing 80 mph in the freezing cold that looked just like me...I said that was because it was me!!!! He told me I was nuts! He's a great guy...but his bike is not allowed to get dirty or wet...he misses alot of good riding! Ride safe on your snow mobile!!! We are getting ours tuned up for the season!!
Yep I have a few rider friends here that their bikes never see rain and or harsh conditions they do not get many rides in during the summer either .
My bike is rode in rain, sleet, snow and heavy winds and on occasion clear summer days . It's not uncommon in spring making a trip to Los Anchorage that the windshield gets a layering of slush going through the pass !!! Good thing I can see over the top of the shield when that happens .
Sad to see winter coming . Maybe we will get an early spring in April ???
Have to wait and see.
At least I will have time this winter to put on a few upgrades to the bike such as a new breather, pipes , apes and maybe a new seat ??

Don't know what you're missing (other than riding). Nice to drive out on the lake to go fishing. Hate snow, but love ice fishing. Once the bike and boat are put up, I pray for a deep freeze so I can get some perch fishing in. Of course have to smelt fish through the ice in mid march.
