    That some funny sheet, we dont get winter like JB does, but we do ride in rain only when we get stuck in it. Riding in clear skies at 20-32 degrees is fun. You feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy with all the cloths you got on. Makes for getting on and off the bike a real art. :D

    Some of the folks up north got a little of the 93* that we have all summer and higher. Put a lot of humidity in it and ride with it 97 to 103* with the humidity and ride. It wears on you fast.
    I can ride to a bar, have a redneck budweiser, and ride to another bar somewhere else and have a redneck budweiser.
    I will sweat it out before I can ride to another one.
    Ride early and late in the summer.
    You don't sit in the pad and look out the window and wish you could ride.
    You ride all winter long with leathers on.

    Hmmm, I remember you complaining about it being to cold to ride in the winter, you even have to turn on those heated grips.:roflmao:

    We don't get high temps with high humidity, stays nice all summer here.:)

    If i'm having my Rather's..............


    I'd rather it not git under 55*
    I will be 62 next month.
    Like it between 55* to 88*
    We can ride pretty much all year long.
    We just take breaks for heat, rain and when it goes below freezin.


    And it don't git cold where you are, and snow.

    It don't snow here and stick.

    And you got to realize even with me being 125 miles from the Gulf. We git a lot of Humidity off the gulf. The HD dealers even complain about it.
    And I live on a lake. Think of the humidity off it.

    Personally, I don't see how you can live where you do. Hi temps and hi humidity all the time would wipe me out. I love it right where I'm at Low 80's today with low humidity. Really nice out. Riding to the HOG meeting tonight.

    Only June threw Aug is the hot months.
    In the spring and the falll and most of the winter is really good riding weather.

    Texas has been good to me and the Ol.
    One of the OL sister lives here. I have 2 aunts that live here.
    One of my brother in laws ex wife lives here. She gits alone with everybody pretty good. She is part of the family and doing good here.

    And I have a tremendous amount of friends I have made here since 1984

    Got some of the best bass fishing that anybody could ask for.
    I'm 88 miles from Houston in a retirement community on a huge lake.
    My OL has a super great job. She really likes the company she works for and likes her Boss.
    So stress at work is super low.

    Got no place else to go live.
    If I didn't live here I would want to go back home to Alabama but my wife would have to be retired. Even then I don't think I could take the cold.
    Got a nephew and niece that are both Doctors in California. My nephew has like 10 or 11 months of his specialization to finish with Stanford Medical Hospital..
    Stanford accepts very few doctors every year too. So he will be highly recommended.
    Then he wants to come to Texas and live.
    My son is there and I could try to look up some of the folks I grew up with if they are still alive and kickin.

    Chances of me leaving Texas is very , very slim.
    Chucktx wants to leave and go where it gits Cold in the Winter.
    Not me. I hate cold weather.
