I Am Dying To Ride My Bike!!!!!!! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

TheDickies007 · 12-13-2005, 04:39 PM

It has only been about 2-3 months since I have riden my bike, and I am about to go insane!!!! And I still have about 2-3 months to go before I will be able to!!!! DAMN SNOW!!!!!!!!!! I try different things like fixing it, polishing it, taking it apart, and putting it back together, but nothing helps. The more and more I look at it, the more and more I want to ride it, but I don't want to drop it!!!! I may have to ride it today. Wish me luck in the cold Utah weather (snow on ground but not roads, mostley.)

Uh, good luck. Don't push it and get into trouble.

**Clint** · 12-13-2005, 10:36 PM

Where has it been for "2-3 months"? Mine's been out of service for about 3 weeks.

BigD · 12-14-2005, 12:44 AM

The last time I rode mine was going to work today and I'll be back on it tonight to go back home, in layers.
I feel for you guys who have this thing called a "riding season". Hang in there.

Roads are bad here again. i haven't riden since saturday. I think this is going to be a crappy season. we didn't get first snow until the 15th last year. Gonna ride when I can.

Move to Florida and ride year round

I live in Bama now - and just got my bike on 12/2. I rode it about 200 miles Fri-mon. You should consider relocating.

48 sounds warm to me about now.

Jerryzuki · 12-18-2005, 06:29 PM

Well it got up to a sunny 50 degrees here in east Tennessee today. I took a about a 100 mile ride and loved it. Wound up meeting a friend at the local Hooters and watching a bit of football having a couple adult drinks and a cigar. Dang, life is good.

If it was that temperature here, I would be riding in my underwear right about now.

**Clint** · 12-18-2005, 10:01 PM

It's -5 here. I haven't seen pavement for weeks.

December cold front???? You to need to move about another 150 miles south

I got up yesterday morning around 9 and was freezing and realized the A/C was set to 65 degrees. Walked outside and it was in the mid 80's and HUMID.

i hear ya....there is a line somewhere right around Sarasota where the weather winds up being about 5 degrees warmer than tampa in the winter...kinda coincides with the Tropic of Cancer line.

Please don't invite anyone else to come to Florida. I think we have about as many people as we need

I always tell people all of the bad things about Florida in hopes It will scare them away.

I never was very good at sharing

All that being said, I just came back from a great ride down A1A along the ocean. A little windy, a little cool (64), but lots of fun.

I love Florida, I mean Florida is baddddd.
