It's back down to a high of 37 degrees today so I don't know when it will be nice riding conditions again, but that's the weather in this area. We don't get a real winter but as long as it stays clear and above 20 degrees riding throughout the winter is possible down here in Newport News Va.
    Thats exactly why I wont put mine away for the winter. It's chilly for a bit but dry roads at least. I would love to ride with my son or even one of my step sons. Someday....maybe.

        More sad news, another one of our group riders here went down last Thursday. Not good news, he sustained massive head trauma and was in surgery for four hours. Still in a coma though struggling to wake up some. No one is really sure what happened, only one wittiness and he is the one that looks like caused the accident. We are not sure what happened, all we know it involved someone pulling a trailer of pipe and drove right in front of him. His head smacked the trailer and had to be airlifted to a level 1 Trauma center in El Paso. We don't know how fast he was going or much of anything else. He had just left a small bike repair shop and 100ft later and no helmet or any other gear.

              The Harley mentality I guess, 3 of of them are Harley riders. We had one rider on a Goldwing go down a couple months ago, he had his gear on, He had to buy a new helmet because his old one took a pretty good hit on the pavement. Rung his bell some and got a headache though walked away.

                I hate to say this but I find it hard to show sympathy towards someone that doesn't have the good sense to at the very least wear a helmet. How can an adult make a decision like that. Just stupid imo.

                      It's been hovering around 0 for the last two weeks until today. 8 degrees ( 46) and sunny. Average winter temp is 6-8 (42-46) for winter here.
                      merry Christmas to you and yours Justin.

                        Got out this morning... how could I not after what we've been dealing with for the past two weeks?!? The only thing that got me through it was being too spastic to properly tie a noose!

                          Maybe above 40F and sunny on Christmas eve around here. Might be ridable in the early afternoon after any ice melts off pavement. With yestrday's warm temps and rain and hard freeze last night, there are many boilerplate ice patches to make decent riding impossible...unless you like sliding into snowbanks or oncoming traffic!!

                            Another Christmas eve ride this year??? It was mid 60's last year and racked over 200 miles. Be nice to take the Connie for a blast sometime this week!!!
