I know people up north are not looking forward to winter but out in the southwest it is the best time of the year.Summer is toooo freakin hot and today it was tooooooo hot,still it is starting to be nice in the mornings and evenings here.Every place has it's good points.One crazy point about summer is I usually where a jacket in the summer,true a vented summer jacket,but it helps a little to me anyway.When it's 120F+ and you ride you have to prepare for it.Going to have to get out the leathers for winter soon.It does get down into the low 20F's in the winter in the mornings here.We are outside of Phoenix out west.Sometimes cooler and sometimes warmer.To all those in really cold country maybe it's the best time to do all those mods or maintence to your bikes,good luck in those endevors.
