The start of the 2015 riding season is almost here. Well I assume it has already started for those lucky enough to be in warmer areas. Being in Canada, maybe I should have considered a snowmobile instead of a motorcycle after the winter we just had. Regardless, I look forward to seeing fellow riders out on the roads. Be safe out there.

Living in southwestern Washington state I have less severe weather issues, and I try to ride to work as much as I can. Snow isn't an issue, but torrential down pouring rain can be a deterrent. I did get caught out in just that last Sunday and ended up leaving my bike at my oldest daughter's house and calling my other daughter for a ride home. The rain was so heavy I could barely see. Once back home I put the shield back on my helmet and I will leave it there!

Enjoy the riding season.

Hey TammieSS, I too try to ride as much as possible. I ride rain or shine. However, that has taken its toll on the bike. Plus being stored outside is hard on it. But I was determined to have a bike. I enjoy riding my bike so much! Life seems so much less stressful with a bike. I think all of us here can completely relate to this.

Oh come on, it never rains here in the Pacific Northwest, but keep telling people that so they don't move here .

Enjoy your first time out. Here In the Pacific Northwest we have had rather mild winter So I have been able to ride all winter long, just don't ride in rain.

Dartcuda, I am jealous! Being able to ride year round would be amazing. The latest I was able to ride was Christmas Eve two years ago. Three years ago, I rode up to about Dec 1st. I was out for supper in the evening and when I came outside it was snowing. I had a 10 mile ride. Thankfully it was melting on the road. But let me tell you that my butt cheeks were sore after that ride! Riding in the dark seeing snow falling in your bike's headlights is not an experience you forget.
