Winter? What happened?

Post by old_school »

I'm not sure what happened to winter on the east coast this year but it just didn't happen! Not that i'm complaining :thumbsup:

The past 9 days have been between 60-70 and hit 80 on Thursday. I've taken a bike everyday to work.. I'm loving this! Who else is riding?

I think we had exactly 3 days of enough snow to affect driving ...

we didn't get enough of it in N Georgia, the bugs are going to be horrendous this year from what I've been told. Plus I'd rather ride in the cold all bundled up than sweating in my gear.

This is perfect weather for riding.. i'm hoping we get a few months in the 60-70's :) In Jersey, we usually roll right from winter to summer in 3 weeks.. (30's to 80's) and rain in the transition. It's getting cold at night, i went for a 9PM ride on wednesday it was low -mid 50's i had a NorthFace bionic (my new favorite jacket) and a denim over it and i was really comfortable on a 2 hour ride.

I'm still getting ready for the season, bought a new battle-ax (rear) for the R1. I had that put on and did an oil change last weekend.. Gotta drop off the Harley this week to have the oil changed and some maintenance work done. Starting to plan some rides with friends.. :thumbsup:

Been gorgeous here in northeast Ohio up until Friday, supposed to be too cold to ride to work all next week, maybe I'll pull the wheels off and clean/paint them...
