I'm looking into getting some heated gear from BajaRon to extend my season. Also, riding to the Bayou rally in March and then the Hill Country in October, I was ryding from one climate to another and back. I wished I had something more to compensate.

We have been there and done that. The bottom dropped out on low temperatures, (we had 10 above--my comfort zone now), and the four inches is still on the ground. I have officially called it a season. Been a while since I decided to hang it up in October.

Is this the year that winter is coming back? Had to use the snowthrower this go around. Did not even fire it up last season.

You'll really like the heated gear, Patti. We used ours on Saturday. We got on the road at 8a and it was 42* and we were pretty toasty. We have just the liner and gloves.

Still in the 90s here in Tucson during the day and 60s at night. We suffer for 3-4 months during the summer for riding season all year long.

I'd feel sorry for you Bob if my Spyder wasn't forced into early retirement this year on Oct 3! :gaah:

It seems that every year about this time, Ma Nature develops a serious case of dandruff, maybe she needs a better shampoo.
It'll be in the 60s the rest of the week, think I'll suit up and ride.

I live in the DC area. There is no riding season. Just hot and cold riding seasons. I ride from 10 to 110 degrees. only slacking if there is actual ice on the road.

johnThis past week-end Ma Nature dropped about 4-6 inches of the serious case of dandruff on 2 of our local ski areas. But nothing in the valleys. :clap::clap: Deanna
