    ~~~our riding season just started here in Fla. LOL. Nah, we ride 51 out of 52 weeks but this time of year, it’s not so darn hot. That said, im thinking of riding some south (lower Fla. Keys). Should be 10 degrees warmer. I like the cool weather & all but, much under 80 degrees Fahrenheit &I have to bundle up. I turned on the heated seat and grips when it dropped to 60…Iknow…1st world issues

    ~~~we started riding snow machines in the 60’s (Pt. Lookout MI), fill up with premix from a huge tank on the side of a Shell station in AuGres. Mrs. Jake and I found that it was easier to shovel rain, so we moved our operation to Fla.

    I rode into work today and it was 30F. Just wore helmet, coat and gloves and I was comfortable. 25F is typically my limit though. But I do typically ride year around. I live in Kansas

    This has been the very best Fall, weather wise, here in the desert S.W. that I can remember. Clear sunny skies, very little wind with highs in the 80s every day now for over a month. Night time lows have been down to the low 60s. Just perfect weather! But, let me get back to you about the weather come next July!!!! Heading out for a ride in a little bit. Going to Eloy, AZ for lunch at the airport. It is a very popular sky diving place. They have bleachers set up and we can watch people fall out of the sky all for free. Stay safe and enjoy the day..... Jim

    I remember living up north. Now, the only days I don't ride are when there's ice or they coat the roads with brine planning on ice...

    We’ve had snow on the ground for the last 2 days. There’s that much temp change between Pa and western ny
    snow belt and Vermont? We’ve got close to 7 inches last night, 3 inches yesterday, 4 inches last week. We’ve had more snow in the last 2 weeks than all of March 20 and 21 combined? That’s weird that it’s that warm over there.

    Take those last rides when you can. March is a long way off. Sounds like the NE is going to get it before long.
