I am riding my bike to Columbus in the morning to put in garage and hopefully meet up with some of you posers for a drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbarron77 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I ride every day there isn't a chance of rain higher than 40%, or the temp isn't below 35, and both are extremely rare in South East Texas!

redbarron77 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Holy crap, this thread is so old Ben must have had to load it from a 5.25" disk. He used punch cards....here's an example for those who haven't had the pleasure of having had to learn how to use them: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 LOL, thanks, but I'm fine.I got my priorities straight.On the bright side, in spite of the recent challenges in my life, I didn't have to sell my bike, and I wasn't late on any payments on my house.I consider that a big win.I'm pretty fortunate, and I'll have Ember at full strength come spring time. New treads, new chain/sprockets, fresh oil, fresh brakes... Plus I'll have some vacation days and floating holidays to burn so i can actually get some rides in.Might even finally make it to the gap.Let me know when you go to the Gap. Glad things are turning around for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm still riding, to work and back mostly, looking to get a full face or flip helmet to extend my riding time a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Let me know when you go to the Gap. Glad things are turning around for you.

8Rider6 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Last year I rode on and off through the winter months (Dec-Feb), so still going to try to get it out once in a while. A lot busier now overall though and probably won't have as much desire to ride during the winter. Last year was the first year I'd gotten back on two wheels after not having a bike for ~14 months so I went a little overboard as far as riding during the winter.

Gixxus Christ! Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Rode today to work and back. I get off at midnight so it was a bit chilly. I generally hang it up late Oct early nov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Old threads still have life left in them.I'm riding to Portsmouth, Saturday, then up the river for a bit, if I can get off work. PM me if you want to go. Going with a another group. Coming back on 35, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Anyway, I spent yesterday trying I figure out how to carry my tools in my bags so I could take the Multistrada. I'm dying to hear if you figure it out - I'd be trying the same way! I've been riding almost every evening right after work, but it's hard. I don't like to be out when everyone is rushing to get home, and I prefer to ride during the daylight. I'll keep it up until it's steadily in the low-to-mid 50s then I'll winterize and park the bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Been riding to work in the mornings in my cold gear and riding home with all that crap packed in my luggage. That is what I have been doing. I am loving my heated jacket liner and gloves in the mornings. I have about 40 minutes to commute, most of it slab.

Wyocrawler Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Put on the leathers and ran errands today. Little nippy but felt good. Only other bike I saw all day was a scooter at the Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 The weather isn't holding me back it's the deer. I commute at 11pm and 7am and I live in the country, I basically dodge a couple every night and morning. And the weekends are booked with kids sporting events. So I put some stabil in the tank and threw the tender in the bikes last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 screw it... temps 10 to 15 below normal for next two weeks, and 5 to 10 below normal till December 1st.Only a couple of good days left, and probably will see salted roads rather soon. Putting the bike away... On the bright side, maybe we can get them out early in February or March.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
