Sorry for the snowbirds!

[finless]

I made this video for my co-workers and my new commute.

But I thought I would share it here to show why I live in California!

We have had a ton of rain (much needed so not unhappy about that) and this is the first day in weeks I could ride my Spyder to work.

Yes sorry... "I am a fair weather rider"

Anyway.... What a beautiful day to commute! Added some music which is appropriate

My Spyder is in the shop but we had a customer's bike at home and it needed a test ride, someone had to do it. It was warm enough in the garage that I seriously thought about turning the fan on. I sucked it up and worked without it.

that's just cruel and inhumane treatment of your fellow man! I was stationed in SDiego back in 74 for about 7 1/2 months. don't remember a lot about it except the weather was great. figure it's a little more crowded these days.

 

[Chupaca]

A bit

More crowded about 1.3 million but the weather is still great and all those people are spread wide so it does not feel crowded till you hit a freeway at rush hour...:yikes: love the back roads...hyea:

heyyyy , was that the H-O-V lane ? who would care , that looked like a nice day for a ride ! HOPING we hit 50`s today get too do a ride

...... HOPING we hit 50`s today get too do a ride

I was sorta hoping that we WOULDN'T hit 50 today (degrees C that is!! Around 122F) so that I could go for a ryde.... but even if it didn't quite make it, it got too bloody close; & when I tried to pull outta the driveway onto the road the rear tire sprayed melted & sticky asphalt everywhere, so I gave up that idea pdq! :shocked:

Maybe tomorrow, they are only predicting mid 30's in my neck of the woods, so that means it'll likely be less than 100 in your 'old school' Fahrenheit terms, I reckon I can live with that! :thumbup:

We need the rain also.

I agree Bob, lot to be said for living in places where it does not snow.

:shocked: You guys are mean...

But I just ordered the Missus a new snowblower for her birthday!
You do what you have to do... :dontknow:

Though it is nice that many of you can Ryde most of the year I prefer a different train of thought.

During the winter months, we in the north have ample opportunity to dismantle, clean, paint, farklize and accessorize our machines without losing a single ryding day.

Those in the "nice weather areas" must sacrifice ryding days while making said changes, or do so within a very short window of opportunity like a rainy day.
Voila, we win, we'll sort of anyway.:yikes:

Only 88* here in the "Old Pueblo" . Yep I rode the Spyder and then rode the BMW R1200R LC. Spent the rest of the day at the Apple store trying to get Camilles I-Phone restored. She plum forgot her Apple Password. She is very stubborn and refuses to write these things down. They said recovery will take another week or so.

I needed a steering sensor reset but being in the 70's I wanted a hike too. So near SpyderAnn01's there is Frenchman Mountain

Nice day!

Beautiful pictures. :bowdown::bowdown:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree:

Thanks for the inspirational ride. I am getting the "itch" for some big iron again. Currently considering a Kawi 1700 Vacquero. The look and feel of the HD Road King or the F3 T.--but about 5K to 15K less expensive. The Candy Apple Red is especially nice this season. Will let you know if the 2011 is going away. I will be keeping the 2014 1330 though. Linda still needs a ride. :yes::yes:

 

[Deanna777]

I am jealous of you guys. I got to wait until April to ride. :banghead::banghead: Hurry Up Spring!
Nice video!

I got spyderist. But the days are getting longer :clapeanna

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: The Sun is getting warmer... it makes the waiting even tougher! nojoke

 

[SpyderAnn01]

My Spyder will be in the shop until Wednesday next week. :yikes: I may have to work on my taxes.
