Hi slow mo,Originally posted by slow mo View Post
I keep nagging you about this, but yet another benefit of hanging a sidecar on your bike is that fallen leaves & frost in fall and ton/miles of road grit in spring only add zest to your ride rather than terror.
A sidecar will add a month to your riding season, adding a fairing, electric vest and heated grips to your rig will add another.Fred Hill, S'toon

Season just STARTED!
It only recently got cool enough for comfortable riding.
But San Antonio you can generally ride almost year round except extrme heat of summer.

Man, these guys who think riding is for when it's comfy out!Originally posted by jwhughes3 View Post I ride year round here, unless it's raining hard enough that Brutus won't run, and once I get that fixed I figure that won't stop me anymore either. Then again I cut my teeth initially in Arizona and then moved to Washington, one with the heat, then to learn to ride in the rain cause if you didn't you didn't ride
