Are you suggesting we don't have fun in the winter?

Excellent photo Bob.

Enjoy the good weather Andy! That seems to be a cool riding area now with the sea air and the mild weather.

I think current pics from around the world by motorcycle enthusiasts about the neatest thing. Lets keep it going...
Heres my home in Hampton Bays, NY (USA) and was 8 degrees Fahrenheit last night.

I went for a nice ride yesterday, 59 degrees and very sunny in AR.

Great pics Andy.
Bob,who won the game?

I put on 200 miles yesterday...a balmy 45F.

These pictures were taken at the beginning of the week:

Einyodeler - looks like you could use a snowblower..

Andy, you're a cnut.

Snowblowers are for sissies, just like electric starters

Haha, actually I`ve got one but haven`t needed it in 4 years and it needs a carb teardown

I know what you mean, I've used mine more in a 3day storm last week then I did all last year. Had to take the slide transmission apart from lack of use.

I think this may have been posted sometime last year, but I'm still facinated with it:

Actually, I have no idea. Not my picture, it was passed to me by someone else, just posted it for fun. We've barely had enough snow to make a decent snowball.. so far, maybe 4-5" an inch at a time. It's only recently gotten appropriately cold for winter here. Not that I'm complaining mind you.

750deepsouth · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2007, 02:47:33 PM »

Thanks for all the snow pics - makes me appreciate summer more.
Bob, at least the beer would be nice and chilled

DammitDan · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2007, 07:57:40 PM »

Got up to 58F here in Nashville today... I got in a good 200 miles before it got dark

The bikers come out of the woodwork when it gets above 50 in the winter around here!

Hi Raul, we haven't had much of a 'summer' but that day was as good as it looks.

Unfortunately it rained all the following day and was much cooler. We have to grab the good ones when we can.

That snow in the background of your avatar frightens me

One day I'll scan a few of my snow+bike pics ! {from my much younger days....}

Thanks again for your kind offer help last year when our daughter Anna had her 'emergency' in Madrid.

Sun is shining but its 49 degrees in central Florida, no one is really set up for weather like this here
Going to get colder later.
I wish I'd brought my British bike stuff over

I just rode a '76 automatic that hadn't been started in many years and its 16F degrees out. Tires have no air in them but they're so hard and frozen they managed to go once around the block. Bike is in very nice condition, previous owner stored it properly.

DammitDan · « **Reply #23 on:** January 29, 2007, 02:59:26 PM »

Heh, that seat certainly has a lot of... ahem, "character"

Well it got cold, but not as bad as weatherman predicted, only 41 degrees (plus wind chill)
I found my knees don't work like they used to though
