It’s a cold , wet, lousy, miserable day and all I can do is stand at the window, fog up the glass and draw a sad face. Where in the hell is mid- July ???

Same here. Really sucks hard. I will settle for March, but July is better. Problem is, we are in a way wishing our lives away by wanting the months to pass. Another MF'n catch 22.

Yeah, I try not to wish it away. There are some winter projects to do, like get the leathers clean and treated, do some maintenance, then get the bike to the indy and have a couple things done.

Oh, yeah, and map out some road trips for this next season.

THE ROAD
You all down in south Florida couldn't possibly have the same appreciation for decent riding weather as much as those poor Yankee's up North . So appropriately they probably enjoy they're motorcycles more than a Floridian . When spring finally gets here , and the days ARE getting longer already , we'll all rejoice together and hit the road once again !

I certainly appreciate the great riding weather we have in SoCal. That's why I moved here! :ride

I think if I ever get fully retired I'm moving to Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas. At least for the winter.

I've lived in Florida and California is too expensive.

S. Florida and S California all sounds good ... IF YOUR THERE !!! Us here along the Texas Gulf coast, Are putting up with the rain and the yuck. Around here, if ya ride this time of year, it’s best to be home before the sun goes down cause the temp. goes down with it. It’s just a bummer when occupying my time is so much better spent on my Harley and on a country road.
Any way... This picture along Ranch road 152 is what we have got to look forward to in the spring.

I grew up in So Cal. Don't want to ride there though. Too many people, too much traffic and too many cops.

Lakefork, I know where you are coming from, BUT... In January we usually have a few days that we can get out on the bikes for a couple of hours anyway. I can't remember off hand when I even had the bike out last. So this year SUCKS!!!!
