Nah. I don't think so.

Hell I would be still riding all the damn time if my bike wasn't in another city from me, but it's not been winter in the southeast at all. It's 50 or 60 every day.

Well you said...

and my heated gear cost me $100 used. Talk to Jared, he's ridden in Snow with his F4i

secret is in layers... I didn't have any heated clothes in 09 when I rode to Fargo in late Dec. Froze... but survived.

not saying it's fun... just that it's possible.

Damn, all you people with school and jobs and families and real lives keeping you from posting...
It's like I'm on a forum with a bunch of goddamn grownups or something.

Winner.

How much bike talk can there be? Everybody here has been riding for ten years or better. The "Which oil is best for wheelies?" and "Which Oakleys offer the best crash protection?" threads are few and far between.

Avatard brought out the childishness in everybody but now he is gone.

Kaneman seems to be over his prison rape fetish, Tommy hasn't had another kid or snake(yet) and Ed hasn't ripped anybody off lately, so there isn't much banter these days.

I have been a lot less active, just got a lot going on outside the forum right now. It sucks a lot of the regulars have the same going on in their lives too. The place doesn't cost much to run as is, so I intend to leave it up as long as people want to visit, be it a ton of times during the day or just a few times a year.
