Cold weather riding

[David792]

My dream is to hit the road and follow the sun until they find my bleached bones still straddling the Tri Glide. I would like to sell everything and just ride when I want or lay up in a Motel 6... but then, there's real life.:blush:

You can do it David. We sold the house and almost everything in it. Starting our 3rd year traveling in the RV. Except for some chilly riding during October in the Smokeys, we follow the sun and warm weather all year.

It is the best of both worlds. You always have your house with you and you can always ride in different warm areas.

YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!!! That sounds like heaven, but I bet there are some drawbacks - right. Please say yes

I always wanted to be like Bronson from the TV show.

Unfortunately I won't be riding this winter. First time in many many years - having a hip replacement next month - hopefully I'll be ready to ride by April. Hopefully I'll still get my "Freeze Your Ass Off" ride in on Jan. 1st.

Gary, may your hip replacement be successful and your New Years Day ride not too dreadful.

That would be nice but you have the expense of a RV toyhauler plus you have to have truck that can pull it and then where ever you are you have parking fee's in a campground or at least most campgrounds, so there is some expense to this lifestyle I guess. I guess you have to figure out on paper which is the best move. As one person said be a Bronson from the tv show, he traveled on a bike, no RV or anything, that is the cheap way to go, camp out where ever that is free, to me that would get old real quick.

I have to admit ISP-FL I admire you for doing this, most people can't do and just dream about it sort of like me

Thanks for your well wishes. If the roads are DRY it won't be dreadful.

Matter of fact it would be perfect if there was snow on all the green things, 30* temps and sunny.

Rode in to work yesterday in 54 degree temps. WOW, much nicer than the 20's-40's we've been having!

Looks like it will be about the same today....but with a high of 67 degrees. WhooHoo!
