Winter hibernation. Everybody is hunkered down....

[Trip]

I have been a lot less active, just got a lot going on outside the forum right now. It sucks a lot of the regulars have the same going on in their lives too. The place doesn't cost much to run as is, so I intend to leave it up as long as people want to visit, be it a ton of times during the day or just a few times a year.

[dReWpY]

I had a kid and the bike is under a pile of dust but due to gas prices I see a spike in user activity this spring. I'm expecting gas prices near $5 a gallon and the new buell are the 60 mpg will be greatly utilized. I'm already planning a trip to AZ during bonnaroo when she goes and I gtfo

Nicely done, sir.

[Cutty72]

I'm here... but with starting a new job and having to move and sell the house... a bit busy and not too worried about bikes.
BUT, I need to do a valve check/adjustment on the Buell before I start riding again, (so soonish) so I may jump on to ask some ?'s of the smart mechanical types...

[Tsunami]

I check in a couple of times a day when I am not working. Just don't post much. And with the new job and the accompanying mental and physical exhaustion, I haven't been riding.

I though the forum usually gets busier in the winter months because no one is riding

Hell I would be still riding all the damn time if my bike wasn't in another city from me, but it's not been winter in the southeast at all. It's 50 or 60 every day.

Working two jobs, taking classes and taking care of my daughter. Not a ton of time, but I do check in and post up from time to time.

I have little to add, so I just don't post. Still check regularly though, just not all that forum social lately.

[Flexin]

I still check in. I have been on my PlayBook more then my computer lately and have been spending a lot of time on Crackberry finding out about the new OS coming out this month.

There are some good people on this site so I will always stop in to see if there is something to talk about.

[HokieDNA01]

Haven't really ridden since my reckless ticket last year. Still haven't been to court yet. March 12 is my new date. I have been so cautious about my speed on my bike (and car) since then that it has sucked all the joy out of riding.

[Mikey]

I'm here, but like a lot of folks, busy with other stuff so not much posting. This weekend, for example, I'm tearing apart an old Yamaha AT-2 that a friend picked up cheap. Maybe I'll get super motivated and take some pics.

Well, I didn't just buy a new bike that can ride in snow, and/or have the $$$ for heated gear. :nee:

Was just outside putting my bike into a van for transporting. (and yes, my bike is small enough to fit in a mini van :lol:) It is 35* with a bitterly strong wind. I would have frostbite through my textile jacket in no time.

Same here. Finishing up the last 6 weeks of school before graduation. :rockwoot:

[njchopper87]

This is also my last semester. ^^ I finish in early May, and then the inevitable search for a job begins.

As far as posting goes; I just don't have much to say. I show up a few times per day to break the monotony of studying and scurry back into my corner. When I have something worth sharing I plan to though!

Are you still looking to get into the talent biz?

Yes, if I could. I have had no responses yet, but I have heard unless you have a 4 year degree in your hand, they throw your resume in the trash. So I am going to start applying again here in a few weeks.

But, I really just need a corpo job to build myself a little nest egg for moving. Or another bike.... :lol:

Well you said...

Winter hibernation. Everybody is hunkered down....

and my heated gear cost me $100 used. Talk to Jared, he's ridden in Snow with his F4i

secret is in layers... I didn't have any heated clothes in 09 when I rode to Fargo in late Dec. Froze... but survived.

not saying it's fun... just that it's possible.

How much bike talk can there be? Everybody here has been riding for ten years or better. The "Which oil is best for wheelies?" and "Which Oakleys offer the best crash protection?" threads are few and far between.

Avatard brought out the childishness in everybody but now he is gone.

Kaneman seems to be over his prison rape fetish, Tommy hasn't had another kid or snake(yet) and Ed hasn't ripped anybody off lately, so there isn't much banter these days. :idk:

sorry, I don't have much (never had much in the first place). got home from a deployment in May, and now I'm deployed again. only ridden my 929 for about a month and a half. Unfortunately I'm not home enough to even rip a bike apart, much less put it back together.

That's the difference in temperature norms. My step-brother and I always joke that at the end of winter, we're ready to jump on the bikes when it gets up to 50, but at the end of summer, we wouldn't want to ride because it was only 60. :lol:

Yeah, it's been an un-winter down here.
We've had a couple of cold (for us) weeks, but it's been pretty mild overall.
Between that and the rain, this summer is going to be really buggy. :sm:

Oh, and my back tire was damn near flat too.
Ever aired up a motorcycle tire with a bicycle pump? Great exercise.

GT does around 50 on the hwy, accord around 25. I may try a few hwy runs on thebuell to see how its mileage is after. I think drewpy said he was getting close to 60 on his. Only bummer is the bikes take premium and the car takes the cheap stuff.

[RACER X]

i'm loose-loose, bike gets like 28-32mpg, and uses premium
car gets like 35 and uses cheap gas

i fill up every 2 days, cuz i ride about 45mi rd trip, and i get about 110mi to a tank.

so i total i use more time/money commuting on the bike. but only bikers understand why it's worth it.

I haven't measured the mileage on the Buell, at least not that I remember, but it and my car both take premium and my car gets maybe 28mpg combined if I'm not too aggressive.

Mine is averaging about 41 mpg. That's with no track days or agressive twisty riding (cause obviously there isn't any here).

Sucks this year I probably won't be able to commute much on it, or I'll have to pick up a KLR or the like, as construction around the lake makes travel with anything less than a 4x4 virtually impossible.

I iwll probably be doing the same gig this summer with the side jobs, whats good is I am going to milk paternity leave again in june so I wont be driving ot the er as much durring the summer months, and hopefully will just do 5 or 6 shifts a month at the side jobs.

A reality check will alter your posting. My wife found a lump in her right breast in November. A couple of mammograms, an ultrasound and then biopsy results later, it tested positive for cancer.

She had surgery right before Christmas ( lumpectomy{sp?} and removal of two lymph nodes) . Luckily only the lump itself tested positive for cancer.

She starts radiation on March 5th, five days a week for six weeks.
