We would melt. I was in Philadelphia Last year at the end of July. Shirt and tie, I thought I was going to dye from the heat. Everything sticks to you. YUCK...

Got about 90 miles yesterday. My new Holeshot stuff rocks. Tomorrow I plan on a four-hour ride up north.

It begins!

i bet going over that enclosed bridge. your bike sounded SWEEEEET!

43 degrees is diffiently good riding weather up here in Maine. this summer will be my 1st summer on a bike. i can already see it's going to be WAY too hot to be riding around with full gear and a helmet on.

I haven't ridden in about three weeks. The temps managed to get into the upper 60s, and dropped back into the 30s again. Strange weather. It's supposed to start warming up this week, so maybe by the end of it I can be riding again.

We just can't wait. I was out today for a 30 mile run in 42F weather. It was great but no grip in the turns.
The bike ran great after being "asleep" for the past 4 months.

PS: I spent the last 4 months checking out Andy's pictures at

http://www.southbayriders.com/forums/index.php?

great site......made the winter go by faster.

Don’t let your guard down. Drinking and driving mix about as well as pavement and skin. Always ride safe and smart.

The other fella was a hit and run driver That was me July of 03 trying to be still, waiting for some drugs, with broken ribs, broken clavicle fractured skull and my shoulder blade sticking out of my back. I'm still trying to recover and it's been nearly 2 years.

Hang in there. I know that you have heard that before, but the body only heals at one speed "slowwww". I had my back worked on, and that was 99. It still hurts somedays real bad. I can tell what the weather will be like before the weather channel.
Did they ever find the person that did the hit and run?
