Dolph, don't you live in Ohio? What do you do the 7-8 months/yr the weather won't cooperate? Move south, man!

swampduc, the Summer's heat is as bad for me as Winter's cold.

I ride mostly when the temps are between 50 and 78.

Most of my riding is Spring and Fall or when a cold front comes through in Summer.

My ideal riding temp. is 68 degrees.

The Hocking Hills are my Home.

A riding Paradise.

5 State Parks : Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow , Rock House and Cantwell Cliffs all within a 20 mile radius w, terrific roads connecting them and that's just a start.

As soon as I put on my helmet, I am a different person.  When zigzag traffic, I am totally different person.  On the twisty, I am totally different person.


When not on the bike, I admit I am a total dork. :-(

^^^ Too easy, I won't go there.

You're right.   Myself, I turn  into aggressive, a$$hole rider, lane splitting, higher RPM than is really necessary, don't wait for sh!t, don't slow down for sh!t, don't stop for sh!t, except cops, and I haven't gotten a ticket on the Ducati, just in the Chevy truck.   Go figure.  I think it keeps me alive, much more focus than if I'm just putting along, looking at the little birdies.   If I'm hauling bananas' around, I'm pretty damned focused.

Riding fast is a Spiritual experience for me.

I feel a Zen like emotion that lifts me above my surroundings.

Past the truck's hood and into the ditch on the other side? 

Actually I know what you mean, but the reward is not worth the risk. When I need to go too fast, I just take it to the track
