Summer riding.

I really wish it would stay warm outside longer because i just got my gz in May and dont want to put it away for the winter. I had so much fun on it and learned alot. Ahhh well.

I can relate to not riding in the winter. Thankfully the riding season here is a lot longer than the season on the Canadian Prairies. There are a lot of folks who do ride all winter long on the coast but I am not one of them. I just hate the extra clothing and overheating once I stop and get away from moving through the cooler air.

I dont even want to try riding when its 23 degrees out.

Makes me feel lucky that I can ride 52 weeks a year. The temperature hardly ever goes below 10ºC (50ºF) :tongue:

23* F is nothing.
I did a year or so without a car.

Try 19* in the rain. That'll put some hair on your chest

Hahah. That's awesome. I image your face didn't indicate it was much fun until after you came to a safe stop.

For whatever reason, my riding always increases in the winter.... I'm a whacko nut job.

Hey Gz

You said "Come on down, y'all to North Carolina. I'll ride as long as the temp stays 30 F or above. Haven't gone a full week without being able to ride."

I would consider settling down in NC. I have a very good friend that I keep in touch with, he's down there in Raleigh just like you. I am single and right now, I'm unemployed. I would move down there right now if I could score a job and a small room to stay.
The job and room would be my biggest obstacle.
