Default Fair weather rider...

Can you guys believe this. My bro was supposed to ride up this morning and we were going to go out for a nice afternoon ride, have lunch, hit a dealership and head back. Well, it turns out 44 was too cold to ride so we ended up taking the cage. I just can't believe flesh and blood turned out to be a fair weather rider...





















Hey man - I know you're going to read this so I just thought I'd post on here to bust yer chops.....You know who you are......

Yeah, I got a friend just like Your Bro. It's either too cold, too hot, too windy. or it might rain. Don't wait on Him anymore, I just go on my way when He does'nt show on time.

The next thing we should hear from your bro is, "Used Bike For Sale, seldom ridden and never got wet"

I think we all know a fair weather rider, I work with one. I dont like riding in bad weather either but I'll do it if I get caught in it. With that said I don't consider 44 degrees bad weather.

Well...considring at 60 MPH...44 degress turns into about 25 degress...that's abit much for some people!

I'm out riding in the 30's on My street Glide...but hey...that's Me...I'm polish and hard headed! Of course...leather top and bottom! More than likely a 3/4 or full face and a nexk gator...but I'm out there! Woo Hoo!

I hate the cold, but I ride in 33 degrees if the roads are clear. A trip might be a nice ride in good weather, or it could be an endurance run in foul weather. Enjoy them both!
