last ride of season

Well Thursday here in New England it was a lovely 60 degrees with no rain, so when I woke I ask DH if the bikes were accessible in the garage. What an awesome ride to work. The traffic was heavy but honestly just riding to Boston on November 30 was a joy. There were a few bikes out there-- ended up riding in beside a newbi on a BMW. Prediction is for snow this weekend so looks like I will finally have to put bikes to bed until spring.... for those of you in the north have a nice winter.... for the rest of you enjoy... and think of us while you ride. donna

Donna: Glad to hear you were able to get another ride in. I was kicking myself last week for putting mine away - it was in the 60's here. Well, needless to say it's not now and we have about 5 inches of the snow. They are saying we'll be lucky to hit 20 degrees on Thursday. So, I don't feel quite so bad now. As you can tell, I think most of the folks who post here aren't stopping by as much because they aren't riding now. Our touring club still gets together for dinner once a week and is working on events for next year. I'm also thinking about making plans for Daytona and Americade. Then there are always the bike shows in the winter to go to (International Bike show hits several major cities plus there are a couple others featuring custom bikes). So, I still like take in what I can find - be it new bikes, stories of rides or whatever. Hopefully it will be a short winter! Matt

Sorry to hear that your last ride has happened. We had the same problem living in NH but with the wifes bad knees we moved south to NC. Still riding and loving it. Had a choice new car or new bike , care to guess which one??? lol. Well Im am the owner of a 2007 HD Street glide. Gave up my 96 Dresser which went to a good home. still miss the New England fall colors. Hope your winter isnt to bad.. I promise not to tease you about riding in January or February(maybe???) I know its hard to break out the fuel stabilizer and put your rides on a trickle charger to keep the battery alive.but spring will soon come back and the rumbling of the engine will pick up your spirits
