...I know some of our friends are already riding and then there are those in the deep south that never have to stop riding due to cold weather.
Yup. Although Florida is the most southern state of the 48 contiguous states, there are times when it is too cold to ride. NOT! I recall when the yutes, especially Matt, would ride all year long.
Down to 8,000 miles per season
Jeez. Gone are the days of mid year tire changes and thrice yearly oil changes for me. I miss all the favorite routes along the way to New Hampshire and Canandaigua, NY. Blue Ridge Parkway. Skyline Drive. Big Meadows Lodge. Seems like yesterday, seems like forever ago too! All the Georgia Rallies, the Nor-East rallies with burnt arm hair and cannon balls Snert's son in shorts and T shirt while us southerner's are all bundled up. Gone are the days of 30 rider's in Georgia attending a rally. Seems almost like when the rains stopped the rallies did too. Riding in Canandaigua, in the rain. Riding in Dalonega, in the rain. Riding in Litchfield, in the rain. Dernit. those rallies will keep me from saying in an ad (if ever I sell) "Never ridden in the rain" . Shoot if it weren't for riding in rain, my jacket would never get washed!
