Al Gore has been telling us for many years that we're supposed to be getting some really great riding weather, and I still haven't seen it.I guess I'm disappointed in him.
I'm not counting the Summer, because that's always great riding weather, and yes, I consider 110°F to be great riding weather too.
No, I'm talking about the rest of the year, Spring, Fall, and Winter. Where is the t-shirt weather? I've been collecting a lot of t-shirts everytime I go to biker rallies, and I want to show them off when I ride.
It's gotten to the point where I'm now buying hooded sweatshirts at biker rallies. I tell my wife that I want heavy-duty long-sleeve t-shirts, because they keep me warmer.
I've been riding my Ultra Classic Electra Glide more often than the Road Star because it has the upper and lower fairing, plus the tall windshield, to keep all of that chilly Southern California wind off of me.
For those of you who don't live around here, when temperatures drop to 65°F or below, most bikers would rather stay inside and drink latte.
The biker bars around here are not as crowded as they used to be. I suppose that's a blessing in disguise because the RUBs aren't riding. I'm actually seeing more bikes parked outside of Starbucks these days. Here's a riding club called "Coffee Cruisers" focused specifically around coffee houses. Boy isn't that a sign of the times!
I probably wouldn't have bothered writing about Al Gore, because I don't care for the guy. But since he was recently heralded by our Hollywood Elite as being the modern-day soothsayer, and the fact that none of his predictions have come true, I gotta let the biker voice be heard.
You promised us warm weather Al!
WHERE IS IT?
