End of Season Northerner I
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2015 4:09 pm
I'm not a hardcore cold weather rider, no heated gear for me. When the leaves come off the trees, the bike goes into hibernation.
This fall I picked the date a few weeks in advance, the bike is stored in my mother-in-law's garage, by invitation, about 10 miles and 20 minutes away.
We had taken off the bags, it got a last clean and wax job, white walls whited again, ready for the final ride of 2015. I parked in front of the house when I came back from gassing up and saw a beautiful bright red maple leaf on the street, all by itself, I took it as good luck charm.
It was only about 55F on this Saturday 10/31/2015 and I layered up, not quite to Michelin Man level. It was sunny but very windy.
Once more up my street, the trees are so bare.
For some reason, I can only get 3 photos, I'll do a part II
