Having a motorcycle seems to be the cool thing to do these days. A lot of the guys I work with have them now as opposed to just a few owning them years ago.

They are almost all fair weather riders.

To each their own. I pretty much ride all year, extremes excluded.

I have ridden when it was 12 deg. and when it's 100 deg. The 12 is better because you can dress up for it but when its hot it's hard to stay cool.

I guess I'll come back in my bro's defense. He was supposed to come up yesterday on the bike. Well he had some business to take care of about a third of the way up and it was raining so he took the cage. Ended up taking the cage the remainder of the way cause it was kind of a sh!tty day. I was giving hime **** and I knew he'd come on here so I had to post something. All in all, he'll ride in the sh!tty weather just like the rest of us - No questions asked... Again - just bustin yer chops....and remember, it's all in fun...

I got caught in a thunderstorm last night, first time on my streetglide. Once the side way rain stopped it was pretty fun . Any weather is fine with me except snow!

I'll ride in the cold and wind but I'm not a fan of the rain. I bring gear along so if I'm caught in rain, I'm good, but try to stay away from that. Otherwise lets ride.

I hate riding in the rain, but in the cold, its kinda fun to ride when most wont. First day of Spring and it was suppose to be 60 in the mid morning, but it was snowing hard. It melted as soon as it hit the street. I rode in that day and the looks from people at the light as Bill Witherspoon's "Lovely Day" was blasting on my radio. I loved it, felt like I got away with something. I ride all of the time, but work is only 8 miles away. I know fair weather riders with more miles on thier scoot too, so who is to say??.....

Cool that you can rip on your brother and he saw it here.
