When I lived in Ohio, I have been known to be out in the mid to low 20's before. I used to bundle up pretty good. Wore the Carharts. Still kinda chilly in the wind but who cares. Im ridin and having fun.. I look at it like this.. If someone can dress up to ride a Snoemobile or 4 wheeler, why cant I do the same as long as there isnt ice on the road? Keep goin man!

The hip was feelin' a bit better this morning so I decided to take Stray Dog down to the Union Post Office and send out my dad's birthday gift (two days late). First, though, the dogs had to go outside to contemplate nature.
Brisk! Mid-40's is downright cold in Mississippi. We're used to walkin' down to the mailbox in our skivvies until February, when winter starts.
Well, I had decided to go, so after the dogs wiped their feet I threw on some jeans, a sweatshirt, and a hunting jacket and fired up the scoot. Here's what I learned:
1. Legs get cold real fast. Leather would feel soooo goooood...if I had any.
2. Bottom lip gets cold next. I remember seeing face warmers at Walmart!
3. Blustery winds are not at all fun. I'll need enough clothing to take my mind off my misery and put my attention where it belongs...on the road!
4. The bike show tomorrow should be decimated by the cold weather! I could probably win best of show with a Flexible Flyer.
So, the question is: Am I a real biker 'cause I ride in the winter, or do I ride in the winter 'cause I'm a real biker? Or does it simply make me another wannabe 'cause I've only ridden thru six winters when everyone knows the cutoff is ten before you're a Real Biker. Or do you have to ride in blowing snow on The Dragon?
This is all so confusing.

I dunno - it might be different down there, but up here you don't get any "True Biker" points until it starts snowing.

If that's what it takes, then I will never be a real biker!

I've heerd tell of that there "Snow" stuff. Kinda like fluffy little angel farts, 'cept you cain't see where yer goin' and then if ya fall down ya either git runned over by the snow plow or ya freeze ta death ten feet from yer own front door. Sounds like fun!
