Wallet biker?????

It's just me and few others on the road now. I enjoyed my ride into work this morning, 37deg....very refreshing. I'll be out until the first snow storm and I'll be back out when it starts to melt.

It is a lot less effort to wave now, actually enjoy it. I don't mind the cold, but as it gets darker earlier and earlier, and the deer start their rut, I'll be back in the 4wd truck. Enjoy riding but still have the self-preservation instinct.

The fair weather riders here in northern Illinois have put em' away already. Damn shame considering the short season. As usual this time of year about the only bikes I see on the road are HD, BMW and Gold Wings.

Same here. Most time I have a hard time finding a spot in motorcycle parking here at work. It was raining and 54 degrees. Other than one moped my bike ally by itself.

I was just thinking the same thing on my afternoon ride. Hardly see any bikes at all. It's been beautiful riding weather, 60-70 deg, warm sun and cool breeze. Doesn't get much better.

In STL Mo. its in the 80s all week and no chance of rain. Lots of bikes on the roads as always in the fall.
This is the best time of year to ride in Mo. and the motorcycle parking lot at work is still packed.
