I may only have one more chance to ride this year and that would only be if we get unusually warm weather next weekend -- otherwise the bike will be put-away for the winter. Currently in the low-to-mid 40's here in the morning's with only high 40's to low 50's for highs. We also get high winds this time of the year making it a bit-less enjoyable also.

To those in the warmer regions -- have fun while the rest of us just wait till next spring.

Just got back from a little Sunday afternoon ride in the country. 80 plus, NO clouds anywhere, and fandamtastic!! God bless Texas. Oh, and does any one know the difference between a yankee and a damnyankee? Don't peek.




The damnyankee won't go home. Don't blame me, someone from Michigan gave me that one.

Turned out to be a good day here in lower Michigan, a bit windy and a passing shower but all in all fine riding weather. Gonna be cold the next few days, but rumor has it riding weather shall return by Friday. Season's not over here yet, but don't think I never dream about living somewhere I could ride all year round. I lived in Tucson for a year when I was a kid...I will get back there someday.....

Since the rivers are all too low and clear for good fishing...I was home this weekend. As luck would have it, the wife is out of state visiting family and the weather was fab...cool in the morning...60ish in the afternoon, but sunny as hell!

I rode both days this weekend and the colors and falling leaves were nothing short of spectacular! Probably the last good riding days around here for awhile.... .

Cheers...Kris

I think his signature line is a clue ;)

I'm trying to make his Aux. light brackets right now.

Once again thanks for the idea Bdog, if I ever get'r done I'll post pics

Don't put that bike away just yet Bdog, forecast looks pretty good for the next few days highs of 11 & 12. OH YEAH.
