If I couldn't ride all winter, I'd probably start bitching a lot! I hate to bring that side of me out! It's a good thing I live here. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Rick... That's what I say. If you can ride a snowmobile, why can't you wear snow gear to ride your motorcycle. Rain and snow with cold temps may not be a time to ride, but dry pavement? Bundle me up and let's go.Lady R (Di)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08253802136989789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058662679644806189.post-78321992687204017522008-11-14T01:06:00.000-06:002008-11-14T01:06:00.000-06:00Yes autumn certainly is some of the best riding in...Yes autumn certainly is some of the best riding indeed. I live in the midwest and don't understand why most put there bikes away.

I love 'em.<BR/><BR/>bucky... I think of home too, when I smell the leaves. I remember when Papa J would burn leaves. Ditto on the cool memories!<BR/><BR/>dean... I wish I could share the warmth. Hopefully, my posts can bring a little joy till Spring.<BR/><BR/>mr. m... It's easy when you sit back, close your eyes and relive the moment you had. I'll do this, then put fingers to key board and... Viola!<BR/><BR/>big d... Thanks! Motorcycles and pretty days make great music together. I love it when a song comes together. <BR/><BR/>b.b... I miss the seasons we had in the Midwest. Here, we only have about 3 or 4 weeks of fall weather before it gets cold. But, as I said, we can have 60 and 70 degree day spikes, out of the blue, interrupting the normal temps of 40 to 45. Just hopefully, it lands on a weekend!<BR/><BR/>dave... the soul was sooo revitalized on this little ride. I think the crispness of the air was a refreshing change. and the colors are just beautiful right now. I never thought of myself as very complicated, so simple things can make me very happy. Just give me a pretty day, some open road and time to revel in it. Ahhhhh!<BR/><BR/>Joker... New Englander heh? I'll have to drop my ah's (r's for the rest of us) better. LOL! All this color does make me really wish I could make that ride up through the North Eastern States. I hope to do it one day.<BR/><BR/>allen...

The reason for the crispness in the air is lower humidity. Up here, it's lip-chapping dry now. But, when you get those good days that are now getting fewer and farther between, it makes for the best riding of the year. That, and I love seeing Wendy in her chaps!"Joker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00123102968850707085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058662679644806189.post-56767759718087436162008-11-13T12:37:00.000-06:002008-11-13T12:37:00.000-06:00Beautiful picts.

I was seeing a sea of auburn leaves parting and fluttering in the wake of your two wheeled asphalt ship as you cruised the blacktop. Isn't amazing how something so simple is so satisfying to the soul.
