HA! Down here in Louisiana, and in most of the South, the riding
season is just getting starting! Cool, crisp, but still able to ride!
Move South, ride year round......... you just have to dodge the
occasional Hurricane.

Yep, here in Jax, Fl. It's the best time to ride. This past summer was
the first summer I mostly drove the truck. To dang hot at my 40yrs to
wear all the gear while stuck in traffic.
The winters here and the fact I do not have to carry insurance on the
bike are about the only things that I find worthwile nowdays in Fl.

The time not to ride in the south is August (or during an occasional
ice storm - but thanks to global warming we haven't had a bad one in
a while).

Eddie,
You be carefulnow.
You bore-sight a swamp-footed Odocoileus virginianus with your KLR
and your season will be over as well. It will make a
hurricane/himmacane look like a picnic.

Aw man, you're not 18 anymore, not that it matters, but you got's to,
at the least, have liability insurance. Riding without insurance is
foolish economy. We want you to be able to buy more bikes in the
future...............................................................

Whatever you do, don't move out here to the SF Bay area. The weather is boring and
uninteresting, it rarely goes above 85F in the summers and rarely falls below 40F in the
winter. It's just a boring place to be a motorcyclist because you can always walk out the door,
jump on your motorcycle, and ride off. What's the fun in that? Motorcycling is supposed to be
a *challenge*!

Being able to split lanes presents no challenges?

Those of us in the "frozen tundra" deserve some sort of gold star for
riding in the forbidden months. While it is really great to be able to
get on the bike any time it takes something really special to fire the
pig up at 20F and take a spin. Its truly unique to ride in cold brisk
air. Everything looks different and sounds different. All the riders
you see wave back because they are "real"riders, not "lifestyle riders"
on their big noisemakers. You know who they are.
While ice and snow present their limitations, it only adds to the
determination to ride. Personally I've ridden in 20F weather, but no
colder than that. I shun heated devices, but I've read they are quite
rewarding.
So you guys in sunny climates, or not so sunny but warm climates can
enjoy the pleasure of riding anytime, you miss out on testing
your "mettle" on a cold winter morning.
Whatever you do, and wherever you live, ride often, and ride safe.

Even here on the coast of sunny SoCal where we can ride every day
(save for the occasional deluge), I leave the house with ice on the
bird bath and dog dish and the thermometer in the high 20's several
times each winter. Bracing for sure, but too dark to really enjoy
anything about the experience. The worst riding weather we get here is
thick fog. I stick to the surface streets on those days.
