Still riding, going for a ride in an hour or so.

A balmy 5 degrees C ( 40F), it's warmed up since last night. Of course the cloudy wet conditions don't make it feel any warmer but hey there's no snow yet so I can't ride my snowmobile yet.

Of course low speed cruising is the only thing I'd recommend up here cause the windchill can get really bad and wet leaves all over the roads make for some interesting riding.

Still riding here in Eastern WV, at least once in a while. I do use the bike to commute to work (28 miles each way on a 4-lane). Though I've been riding for 30 years, darkness bothers me more than the cold, and will probably determine when I call it quits for the year.

50°F and rainy here so far this week, although Sunday was a nice riding day and I got both of my bikes out. I need to go visit my Dad in Melbourne, FL.

It's not me, I get dress up with warm clothes, it's the bike. Don't know if it's the carbs, but even with the choke it VERY hard to startup below 10 Celsius. Lowest I started it was at 7 Celsius, it took me 15 minutes to get it to the point where it wouldn't die down. Not sure it's too good on the components to do that so I'm not even trying anymore, don't want to make it worst...

No I ride a Kawi. I already tried to set up a way for the board members to give me donations so I can buy one, but no one has participated yet.

**Uncle Bob** · 11-03-2004, 05:03 PM

He rides a kwak, nothing wrong with that, just with his mechanical abilities. Did you change the speedometer filter like I told you?

Nexus242 · 11-03-2004, 06:25 PM

Oh BTW today it was 86 degrees, sunny and just the perfect day to roll off another 100 miles on the bike.

Oh have I said that it's good to be in Florida!!

blaine · 11-03-2004, 07:24 PM

Heck Yea, I ride to work every day it's not raining when I'm ready to go.

On the weekends I ride with my wife and my buds. Sometimes the kids are not on restriction and at least 2 of them get to go with us.

Also I get to take long lunches every now and then and have a few great rodes that are just a little scoot away. A few twisties can take away all the irritation that work and fellow employees put there.

Yeaaaa Hawww. Lets ride!!!
