Spyder riders in warm weather states.

**mxz600** · 12-13-2012, 02:51 PM

You might think you have it made living in the warm weather and riding your Spyder all year long.

But check out all the fun your missing out on.

I will say, if I couldn't live where there was snow in the winter, I would for sure live where it was warm twelve months out of the year.

It would stink to have to put up with the cold all winter and not have any snow. Come to think of it, that is exactly what has happened around here the last couple of years. If things don't change it may be time for me to move.

Naw, I'm not missing any fun because I can ride my spyder all year round.

Besides, I shovelled enough of that crap when I was a kid, however I do miss some snow around Christmas. It could snow the day before and be gone the day after and that would be ok with me. Dale

Throws virtual snowball in direction of Fla.

Of course, the situation is reversed in July when it's 90% humidity and a billion degrees down there and they can't ride cause it's too hot / humid.

A"Rounder" rides all year long. I think I prefer to ride in very cool weather, 32 or so and pass on the people in the video.

+1 you can always add layers, as opposed to riding naked.

I've been snowmobiling in temps below zero. I have the gear to keep warm but I will not ride my Spyder on salt covered roads.

Your video reminded me to pay my health insurance bill...

There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad equipment!

But it's a poor carpenter who blames his hammers...

**Ivorspyder** · 12-14-2012, 09:45 AM

Video is great but.............It's 75degrees,sunny here on the Treasure Coast and am just setting off for a nice ryde.
When it gets hot &humid in the Summer that's the time to take off to the cool air of the mountains.

Naw, I ride then, too.

Today I was out ryding in mid 70s temps with low humidity, sunny with puffy little clouds and a cool breeze coming off the ocean. Beautiful!

How do those 97 degree days with a matching humidity feel when you're 100 miles into a 300 mile day??

I like a little bit of "change" to my seasons!

When I check the weather channel in the summer, its hotter in the north than here in the Florida Keys. Looks like I not only have the cake but get to eat it to.

. That may be the reason I have 10000 miles on my spyder and bought it new in April.

Agree, it's rarely ever 97 down here in the summer. 92 is about the norm. Feels much hotter to me when I travel up north in the summer. I had heard down in Key West that it has never hit 100 there. I rode almost every day last summer.

**Bob Denman** · 12-16-2012, 09:01 AM

We were in Orlando for a week in July a couple of years' ago... 97 every day with matching humidity...
We had looked at our calendar and thought that it might be nice to try WDW in July since we had never visited there in the summer...
Now we know why!

**mcaccamise** · 12-16-2012, 10:31 AM

Bob i hate the humidity here though i guess you either get used to it or stay at home now is the time to ride with low humidity and cooler temps lovin it. If you get down this way and would like to see the Mouse WDW let me know im a 25 year cast member you would enjoy the park this time of year.

I may take you up on this Mike; Thanks!

The Missus and I like to hit WDW every couple of years. I think that we're up to 16 visits now. It's become far more relaxed and fun for us now that the pressure is off and we don't actually have to see anything in particular. It's a lot of fun watching the parents run around trying to pack every second of every day with all things Disney for their children...

Our son worked there for a year and a half in the desgin studio...
