The winter months...what do you do?

**Uncle B** · 25th March 2006, 20:37

Seems mother nature has decided summer is truly over....so in the winter months what do you do to pass the time away till riding season comes round again?

I surf the net a lot more, watch plenty of motoracing and rugby. Pull the bike apart and do those barstard maintenance jobs you can't be buggered doing during summer.
Plan next years rides (going to do them this time)
Smoke, drink and other undesirable stuff

Comes round again?

Its always riding season.

Just coz it's a bit nippy does'nt mean you have to lock up the scooter, It just means the rides get a bit more exciting.

There are fewer club rides and rallys, but that just means more freedom to get out and try new roads.

Why stop riding just because the days are a bit shorter?

WHAT RIDING SEASON? A planned wee 80k run today turned out to be a nippy 160k ride and I enjoyed every damn windy/chilly km of it. Btw who was on the Bandit and FJ that passed me in Woodville at the Pahiatua turn off?

Welly crew a bit soft, a little rain hurt them? thought you would be used to crap weather down there, I ride all year round.

**Uncle B** · 25th March 2006, 20:50

Hey I didn't say I stop riding, just choose my days more wisely. Aint no fun if you can't see where you're going.

**Waylander** · 25th March 2006, 20:56

I ride everydayso no point worrying about the weather.

As for the days being shorter, that's what headlights are for.

Winter! I race my quad, as it is not so dusty. We race March - November, so I simply ride the roady when I can find the time

Bit harder to get the Mrs to come out in the chillier weather tho!

**Oakie** · 25th March 2006, 21:04

Summer / Winter...the riding is the same ... just warmer clothes involved.

**Streetwise** · 25th March 2006, 21:05

its a good time to go to brisbane and have a holiday in the winter sun,,, and ride of course,

**Toast** · 25th March 2006, 21:07

Yeah, as above...don't stop...just wear a balaclava to keep my neck warm

**Lazy7** · 25th March 2006, 21:14
