I may be a RUB/poser/wallet biker but I'm tough enough.
Good on ya for kicking that bug for all those years. Horrible disease. Keep up the good work.

Roads are pretty clear here in the mornings now. Outside temp around 40 when I leave the house before the sun comes out. Makes it just a bit chilly when I hit 55mph. Drove in one in the last month cuz it was raining when I had to go. Rode home in the rain a few times. I don't mind riding in it if I get caught but don't like starting my trips getting wet.

60 Degrees with fierce north west winds from a cold front moving in. Road 60 miles on the 07 FXSTC and then picked up my 2012 Black Denim Road Glide for 20 miles from the dealer to home. Had to buy my wife dinner first as a bribe to take me to the dealer to pick up the Softail that I left there.

I'm still on the road. Bikes at the ready and not stored yet.

I think the locals are afraid of the leaves. It was close to 70* when I took off for a ride yesterday evening, and in 2 1/2 hours of riding around I saw 3 bikes.

And just because:
Ya'll that ride in the cold are stupid.
Ya'll that winterize your bikes are stupid.
Ya'll that don't do either one are stupid.
All ya'll are big stupids!

I ride year-round and we are just getting back to more pleasant riding conditions. Still see the same number of scoots on the road. I'd like to see more... and far fewer minivans and SUVs with their occupants texting or watching movies.
It ain't the bikers - even the wallet bikers - that will violate my right-of-way by turning left in front of me.

Went to chop some tree's and wood at my cabin, was cold so I did it in a t-shirt and shorts. Also used a rusty old hand saw and cheap axe...did'nt want to be labeled a wallet lumberjack.
Went camping and had to make a fire so I rubbed 2 sticks together, took a while and then slept in a cold tent next to my warm cabin but I did'nt want to be labeled a wallet camper.
Going ice fishing this winter so I think I'll chop a hole in the 2 foot thick ice with a pick axe cause I don't want to be labeled a wallet fisherman.
Rode to work this morning on my Fattie. T-shirt, no windshield, no lowers, no heated anything. Was -3 celsius, did'nt want to labeled a wallet biker.

this "WALLET BIKER" stuff is pretty funny. It's amazing what insecure knuckleheads can come up with just because they can't have what others do. hey, it's a free country, get a better job/education and become a wallet biker yourself! Then all the "welfare bikers" can make fun of you!
