I agree. You would be surprised at how few bikes you see in the winter. Like flies, after the last frost they all come out!

I remember talking with my dad in February who told me he had the windows open in the house. All I could think of was taking a ride but too much snow. I think sometimes people forget how good they have it (at least weather wise).

Definitely miss the West Coast. It's going to be a couple more years in PA before we can move. Looking forward to getting back to some better weather for sure. At least it's 60 today and I'm riding. Enjoy!

I'm moving down to the states where I can ride all year around. Obama is gonna give me a green card and ss#. I just have to change my name to Julio and enter the states from the south.

To all you nay sayers of fair weather riders and wallet bikers, I have three words for you: "Buy Harley stock!" I did and the dividends keep rising!

I see those guys in the dealerships and encourage them to spend more! Don't get me wrong, the H-D clothing and jewelry line has some pretty cool stuff. Fear not my biker buddies, you don't have to agree publicly! Just remember, not everyone is as cool as us, but they strive to be! Kinda like a being a cop and seeing a child dressed up as a cop for Halloween or out playing cops and robbers!

Lighten up and enjoy the ride!

Still too cold for them around here. 40-65 degree's, they don't get away from their gas fireplaces until the temperatures hit 70.

Good for them. I love living in a country where a man or a woman can earn money, spend it on something like a bike and dress however they want and ride as long or as short as they want.

Man this is a great place to live.
