Not me!

PMS has set in again (parked motorcycle syndrome).

I rode about 230 miles yesterday in the Ozark's from Russellville Ark to Mountain View Ark, the tree's are changing colors and the temp was around 60. Not as warm today but on the XCT it is no big deal. Going to get out after lunch. If you get a chance come to Ozark's in Arkansas it is great! Drop me a note and we may be able to get a ride together. Lot's of great rides and thing's to see.
 

I rode today today after church.
 

Werode today in Minnesota, 40 MPH winds. Just keep going north with the wind, no problem. Unfortunately that was not possible to do.
 

To all of my riding brothers in the Great White North lands I have an idea. For the next few months send us your bikes and we will keep the oil warm and the battery charged and the tires round and we will send you some extra blankets and some brandy. One other thing. Please keep all that cold up there.Ha Ha.

I rode to work last night and it was 52 degrees and when I returned home this morning it was 48. Not too shabby for November.

Sounds like souther Arizona... wait... why does WY have the same tempuratures as ARIZONA...
 

OK so today was no big deal. The sun came up and the roads had no snow or water on them so I rode. The temperature when I left home was a warm 48F so no issues there either. Last night I was at a meeting 50 miles from home and rode home starting at 41F and finishing at 37F. That impressed me more when I compare it to previous rides. I actually had my heavy winter gloves along but decided to try the Vision's wind protection. With the grip heaters on low and my summer weight gloves on, I had no hand issues, which have always been my downfall in the past. The wind protection on a Vision is amazing.
 

Any folks in AZ that want to do a ride give me a jingle! I can meet you anywhere. It is still in the 90s here in Phoenix during the day and in the 60s at night, so perfect riding wheather. On Sat I rode the back way from Phoenix to Tucson on highway 79 through Florence for lunch. Today I rode up to Yarnell for breakfast and back. The week before on Sat I did a day ride with my brother, which turned out to be a 400 mile day in nothern AZ, with temps dipping into the 50s, hahaha anybody jealous? I must live in the perfect state because I love to ride and will get on the bike any chance I get. I have logged 8K miles in the past 5 months! The Vision for me is the only bike in the Victory lineup I would own. Where the bike shines is in the long-distance touring category. 100 miles here/there it doesn't really matter not to mention good weather protection and handling.
 
I was having a lazy morning all cuddled in with the electric blanket when suddenly....hark I think I hear a motorcycle. Well, I'm not one to be left behind so I decide to look at the temperature outside when I discover it's a balmy 3.9 degrees celcius. So I let some folks know I was heading out. To my dismay and surprise not all folks were up for ride. Just me and one other buddy. So of we went for ride and a stop at a local tummies and we had a great day. Even for up to a searing 5 degrees at one point I think. Any day is a good day for a ride. Even if you have to sport every piece of heated gear you own.
