#1 Unread post by racejunky »

Hello all, I'm a newby here but it looks to be a great site with some cool folks. Looking forward to my membership. Currently riding a 1200 goldwing aspencade, but I also have a '82 gs 1100 glz suzuki and a (what I thought was gonna be a parts bike, but maybe a new project) '83 gs 1100 glz suzuki. As soon as I figure out how to add my location I'll include all that in my profile, But so y'all will know I live in northeast Florida (Yulee). Happy to be here.

:welcome2: to TMW. You are fortunate to be living in a warm all year place. A lot of us have to put the bike away for a few months a year.

Enjoy the forums. :)

We have our down time too, Everyone thinks that it doesn't get cold here but the truth of the matter is that it does. It doesn't stay really cold for very long but it's enough for me to do winter maintainance on the scooter and lay her up for awhile. Riding cold is not my idea of a good time. The good thing is that our riding season is longer than most. That's why I tell everbody "I live in Florida for a reason".

I'm curious, how cold does it get?
I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.
