Would she get on yours?

I've grown to hate the cold since I retired, in one week I'm officially a permanent Floridian, my house in NY is on the market, but I'm not waiting around for it to sell, you can do the closing all online now, my feet shall never touch snow again.

You’re so lucky. Wish I could move to Florida, or Texas. I’d even take California at this point. Be my last choice though.

When I bought my first bike in 1999 yeah I rode in some pretty chilly weather. Even at night, all over the place. Nothing like what you guys do though. When I bought this VN2000 in 2005, that all changed. I just wasn’t into bundling all up to go for a ride. I prefer nothing but jeans n a T shirt. This bike has never once been rain ridden. Neither will my R3r.

We don’t like rain or cold but if you ride as much as we do you will see both. I won’t leave the house if it is raining but if I’m caught out in it I will have to come back home. Well long touring trip are planned for the driest of seasons but stuff happens.

Stuff absolutely happens. To most. I don’t tour. Never have. N my back problems keep me close to home. Add to that a sore arse syndrome the likes of which you’d not believe, well planned out weather rides, and I keep my ride clean n shined all the time. This R3r is a bit of a nightmare. No chrome, tons of nooks n crannies, mat black everywhere. And this brushed metal is impossible to clean. I can’t even imagine who would want the ALL MAT BLACK models??? That’s cray cray man.

I’m not sure I like the cleaning but a shiny clean perfect looking bike is a joy to behold and ride.
