Those guys are really amazing, thanks for the link.  I enjoyed viewing them.  And you are right about this being a slow time on motorcycle forums, I wonder if it was this slow last year.

I'm still riding.  Not as much but with temps in the low 30's or upper 20's at night and 50's during the day, it's not too bad.

Gotta get a few miles a week at least. Warm it up and get the oil flowing. Keep the crap gas moving through the carb so it doesn't gel and cause problems.

I've often wondered why the forums get quieter in winter too.  Seems like sitting at home would lead to more talking since you can't ride.

Well.... (ducking) I'm still riding.... and will be all winter... unless this dang town does not shut of the median water sprinklers again.
When it gets colder the town usually shuts off the median sprinklers on the local four lane street that goes through town, but a couple of years straight they did not... leading to a few frozen mornings going to work and almost loosing it on ice, because of the water from the sprinklers.
I heard talk of a law suit against the town because of a few accidents.... don't know if that was true... but on freezing mornings I would take a different route to work...

I rode the little Honda S65 up to the license bureau to be inspected Saturday morning.....43 degrees and 35 mph.

On Sunday drained out the E10 pump gas and I rode the Honda ST1100 to get the Avgas in the carbs for the winter slumber.....another 40 degree ride at 50 mph.

It will be 50 degrees today, rain moves in tonight, colder temps and snow by Friday - winter most likely is going to come back for Christmas.  I am sneaking in an occasional short ride when I can - but I think the end for the riding is imminent.
