I feel so guilty. - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I haven't been on the bike in five days. Longest since I bought it last July.

Which is going to make tomorrow even more awesome, since it's Friday and I plan to ride to work.

I know what you mean. Mine was stuck in the shop since last Saturday for the 600 mile service. I picked it up last night, but the weather didn't cooperate today. Tomorrow is supposed to be Sunny & 74!

Ride safe!

Same here it's been nothing but thunderstorms for the last week, so I can't wait until this weekend. It sucks taking the cage especially at 15 MPG.

it's not like you were cheating on the bike by riding some strange bike you picked up on a streetcorner...

robertc729 · 05-18-2006, 02:42 PM

Been almost 2 weeks for me with no riding.

Kaikias · 05-18-2006, 02:55 PM

Been riding every day last week or so, nothing but sun shine for next 10 days. I love Texas.

True, but I did have just a mild case of throttle envy watching all the bikes pass me by this week!

I hope it cools down for you tomorrow. I was out during lunch and it was HOT.

D_Klein · 05-18-2006, 03:24 PM

I can't allow myself to believe that 105 is hot, considering we still have a ways to go before we top out near 120.

Time4me2ride · 05-18-2006, 05:08 PM

Well then, hose yourself down, and head off into that comfy southern AZ sunshine.

I grew up there, I remember.

Try going four months. I think this year im going year round just as long as road conditions are ok.

I went about 5 weeks at the beginning of this year, it was the warmest jan/feb we've had in many years. I had a messed up and swollen right index finger, couldn't get gloves on.

Luckily thats all over, and I'm puttin plenty of miles on the 'ol gal.

Stop your wining!

My bike sits collecting dust from mid-November until mid- to late-March. I don't ride when the streets are covered with ice or snow.

Same here

tailgunner · 05-19-2006, 07:34 PM

I actually got a chance to ride mine today. Took the girlfriend out to lunch and then out for about an hour ride. Man was it nice out today. I hope it stays nice and the cage can sit a while.

AZkatana · 05-19-2006, 08:03 PM

i was riding at the begining of the week and i only ride full gear - so i only ride as long as i can head straight home and into the pool after work. dont fool yourself, 105 is hot - i just dont let it keep me from riding. i'm like you, i want to keep riding when its 115+ but i'm not making any promises
