- October 04, 2013, 17:07:45 PMWeather is weird. It's been unseasonably warm here - 80's all week. I sweat most of the day working. Of course, I've not gotten to ride the bike anyway, as i've had stuff I've had to do with the truck almost every day...

- October 04, 2013, 13:45:59 PMI started taking the pills I have to have to keep the blood circulation in my hands happening on the 1st of October...right now, and for the last few days, its been in the low 70s...however, they are predicting a cold front, the one that dropped 30" of snow in Wyoming...to come through tonight...the temps are going to drop like a stone...and then get warm again next week. I put the winter front on the bike, connected the heated clothes controller, now all I need is some cold weather...

- October 04, 2013, 13:40:46 PM Ok out in Canada it too old to ride without heated gear. Well I own ......nothing heated, and even though it has been a steady 13*C sorry for yu'll Americans that would be 55*F and cloudy and chances of showers I did get a couple of hours in, dress in layers and a good coat, my TourMaster Rincon is awesome and I have yet to add the quilted liner. I did cheat and packed my rain gear for the ride.
This weekend if the rain holds off we will be doing the ride around the lake..so never to cold just have to dress for it.

- October 03, 2013, 10:42:17 AMDC if your afraid of the deer perhaps you might want to move here we have very little deer around here, so night riding is not any danger from Deer strikes.........potholes we have, but no more then most places........
if the neoprene gloves don't work let me know then at Drift in I'll buy the beers. but I think they are the best thing for cold / wet riding.....
yup move up here and avoid the deer......then you can ride at night and relax.....

- October 03, 2013, 07:32:30 AMWell, I took a ride to Cabella's the other night, looking for those neoprene gloves. They didn't have my size, but will get more in later. I also got a chance to check out their nice arms collection. I didn't buy anything, but I did take inventory on just about everything they sell there.
The ride home was pretty chilly. Hard to see too. I'm not much of a night rider. I don't like surprise potholes, or lumps in the road popping up. The deer are the scariest thing. So as I'm riding home on the dark country roads I'm leaning on my horn, hoping they'll change their minds about darting in front of me at the last second.
I really don't like riding at night. I don't have the vision it takes to process the road dynamics. So if I can get behind another vehicle, I'll follow that for as long as I can. But my preference is to not ride at all after sunset, unless there are lots of street lights and other well-lit signs of civilization.

- October 02, 2013, 20:13:39 PMMy boat is a 15 foot kayak. Fuel for weekend is enough chocolate to keep my arms moving!! The back of our property is on the habour so don't even need to drive to the water.

- October 02, 2013, 19:48:27 PMI bought a boat, was really happy, had a buddy who was a metal fabricator here in town, over the winter we turned that bare bones boat, it was a 16 ft. Legend deep V wide body, into the ultimate fishing boat, put in a floor, lights, storage area, swivel seats, and all the bells and whistles. Mariner 30 hp, and I could move along all day at just over 21 mph. use perhaps 5 gals over a long weekend out fishing. Funny part was I had people calling me all the time and inviting me out fishing, and such, then the summer with my knee issues I did not do much, and was really sorry I had to tell people I could not cater to their wish of going fishing.......sold the boat.......now no one calls me, can not figure it out.......oh well

- October 02, 2013, 19:20:23 PMI have to agree for the most part. As a rule, it costs a small fortune just to feed most of them. A friend of ours has a 27' cabin cruiser, it takes $700.00 in fuel for a weekend. We have a 14' aluminum "car top" boat, on a trailer, it belonged to the wifes father many years ago. I was in rough shape, so we spent around $1000.00 to totally rebuild/upgrade it. It has a 9.9 hp outboard, costs around $30.00 for a full weekend. I'll take mine any day.

- October 02, 2013, 07:03:24 AMI've seen so many people spend themselves out trying to maintain a boat.
If you want to ride on a boat regularly, get a job on one.

- October 02, 2013, 05:36:53 AMThe only boat I could mantain is my son's toy boat (a gift from his granparents...) 
Fortunately, I've got my Drifter (and she goes like a cruiser'...)
