I've done a lot on a motorcycle (including....), but not that!Got in a chilly, but exhilarating ride today.
Might have to put some snow tires on it soon.

Haha! I bundled up. It was about 50. Not sure I can go much colder than that.
Gonna hold off for a little while and see if I can sneak another ride or two in.

My buddy called me up on an unseasonably-warm day in April one year, "Hey let's take the bikes and cruise to GC!" Yeah ok.Haha! I bundled up. It was about 50. Not sure I can go much colder than that.

We have to go over the Chesapeake Bay to get to Glen Burnie where GC is, and as we approached the bridge, the temp just kept dropping. OMFG was it COLD!!
Neither of us had thought about the fact that it still takes a couple more months for that water to warm up!!

So if this were the last ride of the year, what kind of mileage did you spin? Congrats on a flawless first season for you and your new scoot!!

45F and steady rain. Only going to get colder.
We put a new to us Wood Pellet Stove in our jam space so it will be nice and toasty in there tonight. So
that's cool.

Thanks, Man!
I was pushing for 1,000 but am sitting at just over 800, MW!
I may get a day in Monday or Tuesday by the looks of it. Might get
to the mid 50's one more time before the you know what starts to
fall from the sky. Fingers crossed.

Cool on the mileage! Way to get it out there!! You can spend the winter plotting your 2024 trips while you softly play love songs on your acoustic guitar by the wood pellet firestove with your dearest friends (remember, Bread is there for you)!!!Thanks, Man!

I love acoustic.... when I am alone and sad.
When 4 or 5 guys are gathered in a room to play together I actively rebel
against the Acoustic Liberation Movement.

Yeah, the ladies show up and everyone is suddenly a Crooner!
Worked a few hours today, and gonna bust some chops tomorrow, because Tuesday's weather
looks like it might be ride-able, and if it is, then I hope to be able to kick off from some work and
get out there. <fingerscrossed>

I rode Thursday for about 2 hours prior to band practice. 55F or so, and a lot of wind. It was fun. Glad I did it.
Saw 3 or 4 other guys getting their "last ride" of the season in, too.
Already excited for next season and some longer/overnight rides.

To Harley? Absolutely! I have owned a number of them in my life. I am currently on a 2020 CVO Street Glide. I traded my 19 Sport glide that I put a 114 kit in and my 16 Ultra Classic that I did a ton of upgrades on in on the CVO and walked out almost paid for.
I really like the bike. I have only upgraded a few things on it. I put Reinhart slip ns on it. I put a custom Corbin seat on it and 14" KST Mayhem bars on it. I also did the Harley wrap fender on it. The best upgrade I did on it was a set of Legend Revo Arc remote reservoir shocks on the back. If I had any idea how much that would affect the ride I would have been doing that on all of my bikes. I told my wife they were expensive but didn't tell her how expensive. After the first ride on it she said she didn't know what they cost but they were worth every penny.
I live in South Florida so I get to ride all year around. I was out on it yesterday running errands.
