Has your spring riding seaon started?
Has your spring riding seaon started?
How was your first ride out?
Calgary, Alberta: Me on my old Seca in March years ago with just enough dry dirt to get down the alley to the road for a short ride*.
* Yes I know the centre stand is down, I was the only one taking the photo and had to run back after setting the camera's self timer.

Re: Has your spring riding seaon started?
Unbelievably mild winter this year in NE Ohio, today will be the 3rd day in a row with record over 80F temps. Average high here at end of March is about 50F. Been riding a lot this winter and pulled my big Plexi 2 winter shield and put on the small Spitfire summer shield last week. Almost a non winter here. No last and first rides here!

Re: Has your spring riding seaon started?
I live in where we get winter weather and they salt and cinder the roads like crazy and those rocks, cinders are still on the roads and its dangerous to ride on and I don't want those rocks banging into my baby, my Tmax
The Tmax is the first bike I ever loved, in the past I was in a constant search for the perfect motorcycle, buying a new one every 1 or 2 years, but with the Tmax I have found what I was searching for. I would recommend it to anybody, but I would ratter if I was only the few that owned one, so please don't buy a Tmax! You should buy a Silver Wing or a Burgman instead, then you'll be in a mold like everybody else

Re: Has your spring riding seaon started?
Thumper- so envious of your California weather!
Even with the cold here I've ridden through this winter too, minus about a total of 21 days here and there when snow was just too bad...and trecherous. The best thing about spring though has to be not having to wear soo many layers to keep warm.If it wasn't for the fact it is also hay fever/allergy season it would be a perfect season here to ride.

Re: Has your spring riding seaon started?
We had very unusual weather here this winter. There was snow on the ground for only two weeks, and for one of those I was in Spain (riding a rented bike , so I've been riding pretty much year round.

Re: Has your spring riding seaon started?
I have been out a few times since taxing my bike at the beginning of the month.
My best trip so far was a little jaunt out to the Isle of Purbeck to meet up with my beautiful girlies.

Re: Has your spring riding seaon started?
Heading out in the morning to buy new tires, 40% off the pair is incentive enough, I'll have them mounted when needed...
