last ride of the year

johnathon amos · 2 Weeks Ago

In the jungle the mighty jungle the vulcan sleeps tonight. OK, I'll stop singing . Last ride for the season today. We've had snow ,winds, heavy frost. Time for it to hibernate till May.
Maybe I'll sing the blues instead.

Ouch! I am with Pat!

I am afraid if I had to wait till May they would take me away in a nice jacket that ties in the back.

Johnathon, ride south for the winter!!! Started out at 48deg and got to 72 today. I'm lovin this weather!!!

Dudester · 2 Weeks Ago

It's not like that for all Canadians. Out in British Columbia they're hibernation time is quite short in comparison.
Here in Ontario Canada, our riding season is about from mid/end November to the end of March or beginning of April. However, that 4 or 5 months sometimes feels like 4 or 5 years.
Oh well, at least we don't have hurricanes, tornado's, earth quakes, and floods....I'll take the 4 seasons anytime over that.

sorry to hear that!!! It was 80 today in missouri and at 9:00 tonight it is still 62.We are having some weird weather here in the midwest!

h2o · 2 Weeks Ago

That's tough. Last year I put the bike away on Thanksgiving weekend. I'm not sure this year. I plan on getting a few more rides in over the next few days. It's supposed to be in the low 60s but I'm not trying to rub that in.

dan20164 · 2 Weeks Ago

Every weekend I take what I think might be the last ride of the season. Tomorrow supposed to be in upper 60s, maybe 70. Even still, we get those odd 50-60 degrees in Dec-Feb. Gonna keep her gassed up and ready to go when they hit...

rbentnail · 2 Weeks Ago

I don't miss the 4 seasons at all! It'll be 74*F-ish today- riding somewhere for lunch. I'll have a few weeks of downtime this year, prolly all of Jan., for maintenance, but other than Stabil I don't winterize and can roll her out anytime.

buck55 · 2 Weeks Ago

It's not all roses down here in Texas. We may get to ride all year long, but we pay for it in the summer with 95 degree days from June - August where it is too hot to ride after about 11 Am until after dark. It may be prefect in the spring and fall and warm enough to ride most days in the winter, but I actually hate the heat more than cold weather. I miss the snow, and one thing is when we are still riding in the winter there is no where to ride to except to stay in the southern part of the US.

That must be real nice.

It sounds like some of the people in Florida are in the same boat as far as being too hot. It's still better than have 6 inches of snow on the ground though.

Looks like a few more weeks of great riding weather here in eastern Tennessee.
I will be going on a Patriot guard ride today, one of our riders is shipping out to Afghanistan today, so we will give him a sendoff.

RosscoW · 2 Weeks Ago

Hello all.
Just joined forum this morn.
Got a good ride in yesterday. Going to get it out today and I think thats it.

Able to still ride in November in Alberta Canada is still pretty good.
6 degrees celsius here now with some sun. Good enough!!!
(where did I pack my snowmobile suit?) Hehe.

That's a shame, It's going up to 80 here today. My wife and I are about to head out on a ride to nowhere.

Welcome aboard. Good to have another Canuck here. I've seen Edmonton in November. If you can get a ride in this time of year, take it. And try not to freeze your eye balls as you're cruising down the highway. yuk yuk.
