Rained all day hear in western PA. We got between 1 and 2 inches of it. It was warm, near fifty degrees but, with the dampness felt like ten degrees cooler. I need a ride for my sanity. Bikes are put in storage for the winter. Sucks.

Hang in there and take good care of yourself, so you are ready for the next riding season!

Bad summers happen. Anyone who's rode for any length of time has had one or two. All you can do is move forward.

I feel for ya.

I can post Gopro videos of some of my Winter Rides if you want. Sit in front of the computer, and watch / listen. (Throw in your favorite vibrating device.) <--JK.

Take a winter vacation to Vegas, or LA and fly & ride.

Jump on the yellow quarter a ride ones in front of your local K/Wal Mart.

All joking aside... incorporate the scoot into daily life next season. You will get much more riding time in.

Here's to a fast off-season for you <-- I cringe at that term, as I feel that there is no Off Season.

I hope it all irons out for you!
The "I feel LUCKY to be here !" spells it all out. Life is fragile.

Hang in there. As long as there is a next year, there is a chance it will be the best year.

I put new V&H Big Shots on my Ultra the evening before Thanksgiving. Turkey Day was nothing but rain and 38 degrees here in northern Ohio. Got up this morning to 21 degrees and everything that was wet is now iced over. Haven't even gotten a chance to road test the new pipes. I feel your pain man. Spring won't get here soon enough!
