JStump Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 so i have taken my bike out a total of 4 times since i got it and have racked up like 130+ miles riding around on the nice days we have had in the past month and the past couple days have been killing me cuz i just got a taste of riding and now it looks like it will be weeks before the next ride, its really bad cuz i got all of my buddies at work to get bikes in the past month(not sure how i got them to do this so easily but no one can say I aint doin my part to stimulate the economy ) so now every day at work we talk about going riding and it really sucks! point of the story is who is moving to florida with me? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst2fst Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I swear its like a bitch-slap to the face with this weather I'm buying a bike this weekend and was hoping to ride it to my house but that looks like it just went down the crapper FML. I want to ride the new bike once I get it so its just gonna sit in the garage until this crap clears from the roads a warms up above 45.

That was a f-ing tease. I learned my lesson when I took it out on NYE when it was like 55 here and then I was depressed for the next 2 weeks cuz I had to finish cleaning the fucker and couldn't ride itI used the good weather to clean and organize my garage to make room for the VFR to get a new roommate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 That's why I didn't ride last week. Well, that and the fact that the roads were covered in salt. Even the fact that it was in the 50's last week doesn't change the fact that we still have roughly 2 months of total shit weather before riding weather arrives.Spend the time doing maintence, getting to know your bike as well as your pecker and assuring it is in tip-top shape.Patience Grasshopper.

Harb67 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I must be the only guy who was actually bummed to see the nice weather The warm, sunny few days we had were sort of like the universe going "haha, you don't have a bike anymore! You suck!" Every time I saw/heard a sportbike go by it was like a massive kick in the balls.Now that it's cold again, all you bastards are unable to ride just like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumbtzz Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 i did about 75 mi. last wednesday. riding in feb comfortable in just a long sleeve, hoodie, and jeans is a good sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SnOmAn| Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 ...point of the story is who is moving to florida with me?South Florida just sucks with crazies! I was just down there for Christmas and it is worse than when I lived there. Now if you were to go up north toward Ocala, not so bad. Kinda have some good roads and definitely not as congested.this is why im glad i was lazy and didn't have time to un-winterize my bike. I knew this was going to happen and it would kill meDing, Ding, Ding.... I charged my battery up and started her up, but said no. I knew it would be crap weather after last week and didn't want to tease of riding just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaf Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Winter in OH sucks. I've got PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrom). Summer in FL sucks + all the roads are strait. OH is the lesser of the evils for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habi Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Good time to finish winter maintenance:DHopefully plastics will be back on soon and ready for some spring riding. Ordered some new leather today just to make sure I don't freeze my ass off on the way to work in the chilly mornings to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Exactly... seems like this aint your first season Ive been around a few seasons. More importantly, I am aware of what time of year it is. What really cracks me up is how everyone was saying how great it is that spring is finally here!?!? Those folks must not own a calendar. No matter how warm it gets for a few days in feb., IT IS STILL WINTER PEOPLES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyloft Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Florida? nope... maybe So Cal though. too much rain in florida, and the roads are as strait as they are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroddave Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 not all roads down here are straight down here, Snoman Said that Ocala has some decent roads. well we have found so many twisty roads up there its great. bout the same distance for me as it was to get to the caves so I'm ok with that and gettin to ride most of the time. I haven't put my bike up @ all. So don't hate the player hate the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vroddave Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 you have to go just south east of ocala. behind the forest. Dosn't everybodys' grandparents live there. hear in the next couple of weeks I'll be heading back up there and gonna get some video. I'll link it up.
