AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH...........

wait my bike isn't in storage. I guess I will just get off this bandwagon here, guys.

Bama is a bit cold but only the new harley riders keep there bikes stored when it gets cold.

ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

The weather is freezing. The roads are in terrible condition with all the salt. The bike well the bike, where do i start. Just had awful trouble fitting the HOTGRIPS! yes hotgrips you hear. Well the glue set on one before i got it totally on, f%$k, got it off later with a hammer. Funnily enough no damage to it so i got it properly. Nice toasty warm hands in the freezing weather. So i think im set. Extra jumper under the leathers, waterproofs on for the freezing rain. Low and behold the rear shock went just 4 days ago. I only got chance to confirm its reached the end of its life today. So no more riding till i get a new one. Ghey. £300 for a new Nitro one. £30-60 for a used OEM one. Hrmmmm used methinks. Ah well i keep trying to ride this freezing month but its not going well! Also if you would like to know what it feels like riding a bike with no dampening on the rear shock. Its like riding a sponge. Skittery and skiddy and bouncy - not good in corners or on salted roads!

What kind of pansy uses hotgrips!?

Heck, here in California, we ride in 20-degree weather, through rain, sleet, storms, and wind, and we do it BAREFOOT and NEKKID! What kind of candy@$$ little punks do they have across the pond anyway!?

j/k...sozzy...I just really felt like calling someone a candy@$$ little punk

Crumpet eating, cricket playing, politically correctness gone mad pansy people who need hotgrips for their cold hands in the 0 degree weather.

eh we havnt really had any so far this year and the winters havent had snow in a while but it has been very cold lately. I would still ride it in the cold but I figured it was a good chance to tear the bike down and fix it up and repaint most parts. wish I lived in SD cali. I love going there every year!

SD is da bomb! I've been driving my car lately since I've been sick and since it's been icy (I'm an ice wimp). I've been de-icing my car every day for weeks.... WAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

-----> winter!

I rode in yesterday... I rode in today... I didn't wear cold-weather gear on my legs...

It was cold, but well worth it.
