Does riding and leaning in the car count? I was on a gorgeous winding road in Tennessee this morning - State hwy 230 - and spent the entire 10-20 miles leaning from one side of the car to the other. I’d like to go check it and any others down there out on the bike some day

Funny you mention that. The other day my son and I were in my work van and we pulled halfway out into an intersection waiting to turn left. The oncoming turn lane had a car doing the same thing, waiting for traffic to clear but he couldn't see around us. Without thinking, my son leaned over to let the oncoming left Turner see around him. Pointless move because the van, not his body, was obstructing the view. He just gave me funny duh like look and chuckled a bit.

I find myself incorporating many riding habits, such as leaning, into my driving. Muscle memory, wishful thinking, or just practicing for later on, whatever it is usually brings a smile to my face.

Here's a little known GSRs fact. Thats my last name. Quite a coincidence ? Not really. As unique and uncommon as you may think the Biggerstaff name is its actually quite common. Ive run across some that live near me that Im not related to. I did a VA cemetery search once and there were 100s. Even here at the big VA cemetery where my Dad is there are several other Biggerstaffs that I'm not related to.

BTW Downs.....Downs is the last name of my wife's kids (her first husband) and their Dad lives in TX......

Then Scooted home and parked the PIG and grabbed the TUX... The TU250X is by far the better bike... went up into the mountains and grabbed my shot for the pic of the week game.

I did ride in this AM, 23' F and it was a brisk 25 mile ride in. Back on track to getting my 100 miles a day!!!! Cresting 4K miles thus far this Season! It's been a great start!
 
Yes, and I froze my butt off! I rode my wife's Honda CBR300RA home from its winter storage location (Mom's garage). It was only a 40 minute ride but the temperature was around 1C, so let's just say I was happy to get home.

Bring on the warm spring weather!
 
Come Rain, sleet and Snow... Jedz will rack miles! 32' Changing from rain to snow I did manage to rack 100 miles yesterday. Warmer today in the 50's but soaking rains, I plan to hit the loopper around the southern side of lake Champlain after work,

With the Florida jump start (which will likely become annual) I'm more than content with my VT riding! I haven't driven the truck for almost a week now!

4K miles so far this season! I'm pushing for a solid start this April! Might hit that 30K mile mark this year!
 
LOL Likely but I lived in the South... It's really not my cup of tea.
My Heart is in these Green Mountains, I also just bought a house I'm in love with too so... I'm not moving south for at least a few more decades.
Trust me the thought was running through my mind when I was riding in Florida last month.
 
J you're killin me again. I've been over that rt. 17 pass in my car and am here to say that riding it in this weather is motorcycle hero stuff.
