Lost my All weather biker status..

Post by JohnBob »

Recently bought a another Honda.....



...civic.

Been nagged & nagged not to ride through another winter - especially where most of the miles are at nighttime ( emotional blackmail, "i don't wanna go to your funeral"...nice.)

My mileage for this year (all on the hornet) has totalled over 17,000 miles. :D

At least i can now get it clean & keep ontop of it. :?

Wish I could do the same, don't mind riding in the rain, its just when you get off and are soggy for the rest of the day which I hate.

I'm signing up & embracing fairweather bikedom.
I'd still ride in rain etc, but not the morning frosts of jan- etc. F**K that, not again.
