View Full Version : Resurection Thread: Who rode to work today?
The other one seemed to go well. Wonder how many people still do it in the colder months. Most of you know I didn't. I haven't driven/rode my own vehicle since last March except for three weeks in September.
What 'bout you?

Haven't ridden since Nov 1st. Probably have a good 3-4 weeks before it will warm up enough. Today was warm enough (42) but it was raining like a bitch.

:iagree: while it's not cold or rainy in Texas, I refrain from riding cause the bikes about to go up for sale as soon as the new left side farings I ordered come in and are installed. I don't wanna chance it. If I go ride it now, it'll be the one time that car rear ends me at the light or what have you.

Yeah... I was supposed to be out all day at the track, no go with the weather. Though, I'll take the rain - more rain = silt fences being removed.
