yea it's good to get the pansy *** pozers off the road this time of year. I got another month maybe two of riding, depending on the snow. I don't mind riding when it's cold, just don't like it in the freezing rain. A bit of compacted snow is no problem.

I noticed yesterday when I was zooming home from work, it was drizzling out, I was getting some rain on my glasses, and my gloves, didn't have my rain suit on and I noticed I didn't have one drop of water on my jacket or pants. The Road Glide splits the wind very nicely, I put on lowers this year so my legs and feet don't get wet/cold either.

They don't call it an Awesome Glide for no reason.

yeah, when I was younger I scoffed at the idea of a fairing... now that I'm getting older, my thinking is changing...

Maybe he's referring to what my friends call a "credit card biker"

LOL! For you all above the Mason-Dixon line 50 degrees may seem like a heat wave, but down here in the south, it's considered cold.

Sez the panzie who has his bike put away because it's too cold out.

Some of us have functional rides that are set up for comfort, performance and rider safety. Others have ornamental bikes, that suck to ride but are something you tend to stare at and talk about when they're parked. Those are owned by the wallet bikers.

Panziefied bikes for panzie riders.
I still ride my dirtbike when it's cold, so this so called panzie is still out there doing it in the dirt (cold dirt)

Now get out there and ride your panziefied fugly.

Yes. No offence to anyone just stating that the seasonal riders put the bikes away for the winter. Some take offence to that observation.

I see a lot of bikes out in the afternoons & evenings this week since it's been in the low 80s here in southourn Illinois this week, but low 40s in the mornings & I'm the only one on the road. I suspect I will be one of the only few still riding here when the highs are in the 40s instead of the lows. I'll ride until in gets extremely cold, then will park it until a warmer day, but I'll still get it out and ride year around if it's not snowing or freezing rain or super cold. I love to ride anytime, but not worth getting sick over either.
Hell, it's quitting time....gonna go ride...later!
