40 miles to work. Lately, very low 40's in the AM. The other day it was 29 when I left and when I got to work it way 36. Have most of the gear, but no chaps yet. I asked my bud at work yesterday how long he was going to ride, and he said, "one day longer than you". What a chump!!! He rides less than one mile to work!!!!!!!!!!

have not "hung" her up yet.... but I am afraid the time is comming[:@][:@][:@]

I am just south of MKG

over the next few months..... drink lots in the barn with a can of wax and a cloth in my hand and spend more time here than on the scooter( not that I don't enjoy being on this site, but my butt would rather be in the saddle!)

Snow and/or ice are the only things that sideline me.

no BA, we all just get to be moody SOBs for 3-1/2 to 4 months.

Call what you want, she is put away. I've riden during snow, rain and now that I'm in my 50's the old body just don't like it any more. Eight years ago I almost moved to Georgia but my wife don't want too, then I would have ridden all year round.

I just got back from a little ride over toa ' auto parts store' to yack with a friend for a bit.... About 30 miles round trip, so it wasn't that far.

Was 26 outside when I left.

Nice 'brisk' morning to be out on the road....

My "high dollar" (about $4.00) Carhartt winter gear worked very well. Kept my head and ears nice a toasty.

I ride all year. Hasn't gotten too cold here yet, and I rarelyhave to go out very early in the morning. I'm sure If I lived a bit further North, I would eventually have to call an end to the riding season.

Never happened last winter. Only missed 2 days riding last winter, I rode in temps down to 15 degrees. And once in the Snow. I won't do that again, I think that was probably the most stupid thing I've ever done that involved gasoline.
