I am so over winter........ Have been for years. These last 2 have not been to bad but it still affects my mood at times. I do believe someday I will be moving south.

 

[bikrboy128]

i sat on my bike last night and made engine noises. it needs to be spring now

 

[cacicgtp7]

I'll be honest, I only had to stop riding for for 2 weeks this year lol.


Just rode around today, but unlike you guys I actually have to stop riding sometimes in late July and August because it's just too damn hot with gear. 110 against the pavement that's probably cooking at like 140+ = no way. Right now is like the best time of the year down here. 70's and no humidity.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

I'm so ready for winter to be over. Especially since I have new stuff for the bike to try out.

 

[VenomousDSG]

Fuck winter

 

[Donnie]

Salt improves traction... Just throwing that out there.

I broke an axle today.

 

[ThirdgenTa]

I ride year round if the weather is decent meaning over 20 degrees and not a lot of salt on the ground. Although my trips get a lot shorter in the winter.

 

[Flyn]

Ahem... There are Bikes all over the place 12 months a year down here.

 

[Fish]

You live in Florida? NO WAY!!

 

[Flyn]

I used to hate the three months (four months/five months) of no sunny days, the salt, the dirty snow, the cold weather. That's one reason I moved down South. If you're seriously tired of Illinois winters... Move.

Just walked outside to a another sunny day. It's supposed to be in the 70s again today.

I rode a couple weeks ago. Bike puked coolant in the Walgreens parking lot. Took it to the shop, cooling fan had gravel in it so fan wouldn't spin. He cleaned it out, had new rubber mounted front and rear, and a new battery. I'm ready for the season.

 

[ZedEx6]

Just waiting for this shit to melt, and at least 35* to get on the bike.

[Mr Baytchos]

Is that from last summer I assume?

 

[Flyn]

I'm going outside to chainsaw a tree branch. Why? Because it's in the 70s and sunny...again.

 

[willsmysticcobra]

Is that from last summer I assume?

that really warm sunday the first week of december.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Nice. This got me a bit excited.

Happy Thursday all! It's the final day of February and the last day of meteorological winter! How about that? March--Chicago's fastest warming month--begins tomorrow. 83% of Marches have produced 60s; 53% have hosted 70s and 7% have logged 80s. It's a month of meteorological volatility with a 100-deg spread between the highest (88-deg) and lowest (-12-deg) temps its produced over the city's 142 year observational record. The average first date of a 70-deg temp occurs in March--historically within several days of the 28th! So, while a third day of snowfall--albeit light and occasional--occurs today (Thursday), there are hopeful signs for those awaiting the warmer weather of spring and summer. More on this and a look at the expansive field of northerly winds which covers virtually all of eastern North America. As temps cool in coming days, this full fetch northerly winds are to bring an increased chance of some lake-effect flurries and snow showers to lakeside counties even as the backwash snows lingering behind Tuesday's snowstorm begin to ebb in inland locations through Saturday.

 

[willsmysticcobra]

that makes me VERY happy

 

[Aron]

Will was that the day I met up with you guys?

 

[Spivitz]

Cabin fever has been in affect..........Last March we had a week of almost 90 degrees here!!!!!!!!!!

this weekend I'll fire up the vtwin & chug a beer saluting its thumpty thump

 

[willsmysticcobra]

Will was that the day I met up with you guys?

Ya man.... Good times... need to repeat

 

[Aron]

Yes, next time I will meet up so we can actually ride together
