Great videos. Only weather that isn't motorcycle weather is the ice.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

Love it.

I saw one pull up to the gym one morning a couple of years back here in the dead of winter while it was snowing out. Thought the guy was nuts, :r

I was able to ride up to Lincolnton, Georgia for a weekend Gospel sing with my wife, dad, mom, and brother for the weekend. I rode the bike and they all rode in a car. Took five hours up and about four back. It was great. Could smell all the blooms and clean air.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I ride year round, but am looking forward to the nice weather. Especially with my first trackday of the year coming up in two weeks.:D

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

Right now the honeysuckle is popping all over VA. I love it when I am zipping past some woods, etc and it hits the nose. On the other hand, aint nothing quite like passing by a recent skunk road kill either. Praying you miss it with the bike.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

You rounders are hard core. I've got a buddie that would pull up on the bike in Feb. frozen solid. It ain't for me, but more power too ya. It sure has been nice riding lately though. Thanks for the vids. Johnny Cash & motorcycles... Good times!

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I ride year round here. I think the only time I don't ride is in the snow.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I could quit riding just because its cold or raining but then I'd have to get a shrink and I hate Drs. My motorcycle is my sanity check. Besides I'll be a lot colder the day they put me in the ground. Ride while ya can.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I hear ya brother. There really isn't anything else like it.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

Nothing like taking a long ride on a sunny day and can smell all of the good smells of nature,,,fresh cut grass, honeysuckle, etc. Be careful out there and ride defensively all the time.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I really like the second one. I have been digging bikes with sidecars lately.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I really, really need another bike...

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

Yep, which in WI gives us about 3 good solid months to ride.

Ride on brothers, ride on!

A man after my own heart. If you aint draggin floorboards - your not ridding hard. :tu Nice looking scoot.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

:tu I've scrapped my highway bars on that road!

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

On my Roadstar I scrapped so much my Brothers hated riding with me. They always thought I was going down. Now days I can't go to far over as the pipes grind. They cost to much to be scraping. But nothing like throwing sparks up at night and checking out the chicken strip on the tires. I hate the trunk but it has to stay on until I fix the damaged left saddle bag.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

One bike for sale and tomorrow I'm heading out to look at a new one! :banger

It's going to be tough sleeping tonight.....

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

Let the fun begin!

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

With your access to teh Smokies - absolutly the most beautiful country in the USA. The roads are just tons of fun to ride as well. I may have to ride down and visit with ya.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

The only thing I dont dig is the loose gravel in the turns after rain. :td

Feel free to come on down Mike!

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I hear ya on gravel, adds to the pucker factor like ice does.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

:=: WTF ever happened to Chat?

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

One of my best friends lives down a two mile long gravel road, so after years of riding down there, gravel really doesn't bother me. Rain on blacktop, that's a whole different story. Course...I dumped a bike doing 65mph on blacktop in the rain...so that may have a little something to do with that! :r

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

My "fear" if you can call it are the tar snakes and pies. I was in a hard 90* left turn, 98* temp and nearly lost it whne the back tire slid out on a big ole tar pie. I would have let the bike down but the wife was on so I jammed the left foot down. Next time I let the bike go down, to say the least that was painful. Now when I see them, especially in the hot weather I get a little nervous. But it all comes with the territory, if there was no danger I might as well be sitting in a rocking chair at the casa.

Went and picked this guy up last week.

...now I wish the weather would clear up a little.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

Hmmm if it isn't raining, how does the bike get washed? Looks good, one of the better looking Ducati's IMO. Some have that really rough look. A set of matching red leathers and your ready to rool.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I'm not worried about getting wet.. My dad always told me sugar melted and sh*t floats and that I would be just fine. :) The current tires are not cut to the outside so traction on wet surfaces is limited.

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

oooo yea, bad in the wet. Sounds like you have go fast tires :D

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

I think they read "go fast in turn" tires. :D

Re: It's motorcycle weather
 

Rode Sat and Sun this weekend, man I love bikes.
