How did the OP purchase his sled without a wallet? Purse?

Ride safe fellas!
I used a travelers check from my purse but I prefer to call it a man bag.

Well! Have you been riding?

Just remember when you take pot shots at others which you very clearly did, others will shoot back. Most times with bigger ammo than you used.

I rode to and from a bonfire on Friday (and every day for the last few weeks), it was down to about the upper 40s on my way home. Got a bit chilly, but it was still better than being in a cage.

When the HIGH for the day is in the 40s, that is when I winterize the bike for the season and hang up my leathers.

So we're 22 pages in, have we decided what exactly a wallet biker is? Is it guys who buy nice bikes but don't ride? Is it the guy who wears the chain wallet on the weekends? Anyone have any idea?

Cool

Well for somebody who grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I must say, I don't miss riding in 20 degree weather. Once the snow started piling up (usually mid November) we switched to snowmobiles. That was fun, but 2 wheels in freezing weather? No thanks!

After 30+ years in Florida I have lost most of my cold tolerance. Our great riding weather is from now until it heats up again in June. Best thing about winter riding around here is you don't see many douche nozzles in their shorts and flip flops. They stay home unless we have a really warm day. Some of you tough guys from up nort could probly ride here all winter like that, but pussies like me gotta put clothes on!
