Summer is OVER

**Idaho** · 09-08-2008, 11:38 PM

:-/ It's gettin' cold enough in the mornings that I can wear my leathers to work to keep from freezing. Trees are already turning colors on the mountain behind the house. And the surest sign that summer is over, the new Metzler tire on the rear wheel of my Nomad is worn out. One summer and it is gone.

Bummer about the tire. Guess you'll be spending more time hunting for a little while now!

Just replace that back tire with a snowshoe for the winter. ;)

Summer isn't finished up yet down here. High was 97 yesterday afternoon and it didn't get below 80 last night. It will be another 2 months before what leaves are left from Gustav start turning and falling. Best riding times are just starting over here.....

Cold and rainy here in Peoria lately. Hope to get a few more rides in (St Jude Peoria to Memphis is Sept 18th and our North Central KawaNOW ride is set for the 27th of Sept).

Idaho,it seems like you just rode through Nebraska on your way to Ohio.That tire was fine then.Where did this summer get to? 41f here this morning.

phenrichs · 09-09-2008, 08:12 AM

48 here when I left. So far just hat, gloves, and jacket. Not full leathers yet but it wont be long. I am hoping I can ride until deer season like I did 3 years ago but I don't know.

tkd · 09-09-2008, 08:42 AM

44 this morning and 39 last night. I'm afraid the season is going to be short this year. We are already looking at highs in the 60's........winter depresses me so much.

**ringadingh** · 09-09-2008, 09:17 AM

Its 56 here and it was cool and damp riding home last night, I too am starting to gear up for hunting season. Deer starts Oct 1 here, Im looking forward to getting out in the feild again this season.

ccmjr77 · 09-09-2008, 12:35 PM

yeap, it got down to around 80 here over night. Summer is almost over. LOL!!!!

Still in the 100s here for a few more weeks. Then the real nice riding weather begins!!!!

chainsaw · 09-09-2008, 12:35 PM

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

pirate · 09-09-2008, 02:28 PM

The season is getting short up here too. Our lows are getting into the 30s, and highs are getting up into the 60s. Sounds like we're going to be in the 70s this week, so I hope it stays for a long time! If I can still ride through October, I consider it good. I parked my VTX for the winter last year on November 7.

cactusjack · 09-09-2008, 02:38 PM

Idaho,

Please tell someone down here summer is over. It's still above 100 here every day. I'm ready for it to be over.

ells · 09-09-2008, 06:22 PM

41F this morning, 82F this PM --- Ride On!
