It's still hard for me to get used to warm weather during the winter. Now that I live on the Gulf Coast, instead of Michigan, I can get out and ride year around. Mid 70s this weekend, took the Hepkat out Saturday night and Sunday. As you can see, I still haven't painted it yet. :headbang:

My patriotic pic with our Stars and Stripes in the background.



As an old navigator from the Navy, here's a pic that I call, 'Red, Right, Returning" If you know the 'Rules of the road' then you'll understand what that means.



The sun was almost gone. Time to turn on the lights.



Going home.

 
On Sunday I met up with Rob, cherrydeuce, and with me on the Hepkat and him with his BOTEN build, El Dinero, we hit the streets. We put on at least 20 miles. Lots of great riding but I kept forgetting to take pix.



Ran into a buddy of ours that was in town painting signs for a new tattoo shop that's about to open. So he grabbed his brush and paint and did some cool striping on El Dinero. Can't pass up free pinstripes!



Cherrydeuce, El Dinero and Chastin.

 
Step 1:
Get rich

I really need to send a resume to Kellie's brewpub in key west.

Got brave - temp here 34 deg today and cloudy, Ice melted from roads. Blustery though - Gusts up to 31 mph ! Took my $5 Huffy for 4 mi around the "little block". Wore thermal lined jeans, sweatshirt and windproof hooded winter jacket and winter gloves !

Wow I can feel it - great to get out but need a face mask net time, LOL. Gotta taste of spring - gonna snow Sunday & back to the 20's for highs, Ugh.
 
I'm very lucky that I was able to retire to a tropical Island! It's always good riding weather, except for the occasional Typhoon. Maybe I need to find a Schwinn Typhoon to add to my stable.

But I've done cold weather riding when I lived in Grand Forks, ND. I could only ride for 20 minutes before having to stop and warm up.

I remember as a kid riding around when there was snow. It didn't seem to bother me then but I don't think I could do it today.
 
Weird weather here in New England....cold one day then nearing the 60's on another. Unfortunately have to spend my riding time just waxing and polishing my bikes while I nurse a dislocated shoulder. Should be back riding in April after physical therapy!
