Today is the Winter Solstice!! Today is the shortest day of the year which means longer days, spring and riding season are on the way!! YaHoo!! | ||

I don't know Ralph. Jan and Feb. sure seem like cold, snowy,long months. March makes me feel good again. | ||

You guys are tough, the guy is happy about the this short day and meteor showers that are going to happen tonight. I'll bet the whacko's at Stonehedge are having a blast It's like telling him his birthday makes him a little closer to, ah, you know what I mean. Be positive, think of the good things that could be done to the Buell, etc. Just jonesing, Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice to all, and to all a good ride in the spring (not applicable to those living in the Southwest or Southeast, we ride all the time.) | ||

You guys are tough All from a guy in Arizona. You might wanna come for a visit. Its 4 degrees and -28 windchill factor today. Your thin blood would turn to a cherry popsicle in about 30 seconds. Yeah Im jonseing | ||

Hey, it's O.K., I can take it! It's -1 and -9 with the wind chill here. I just like the idea that we're headed the right direction toward warm weather although there will be a few bumps along the way, no dought. | ||

I'm with gearhead, I don't mind the cold too much as I love to ski and I love the beauty of winter - what I hate is the dark! The 1st day of summer is always somewhat of a letdown to me as I am reminded the days are now growing shorter... Cheers to the longer days ahead!  | ||

I agree, the solstice marker is a reason to rejoice. Though the weather will still suck for a few more months, this is the bottom of the short days. I too look at it like a new beginning. In the summer I see it as an end to the long days. I like long days of sunshine and extended riding time. | ||

The riding day is shorter here too. It is in the mid 70's so you need to bundle up with a sweatshirt when riding this time of year. Move south. (I do love snow activities, just had to rub it in a little to all you in the great white north.) Brrrr | ||

I'm not a mole, damn it, I'm not a mole. Give me sun light - SUN LIGHT!  At least the roads are clear and dry today, I may get out on the bike and measure how many yards it takes before frost bite sets in. Thank God we have hit bottom on the short days. | ||

+1Gearhead. I look forward to this day every year. By the middle of Jan one can definitely notice the day light getting longer. I've had a smile on my face all week waiting for today. | ||

You might wanna come for a visit. Its 4 degrees and -28 windchill factor today. I watched the Cardinal's, Patriot slaughter today. That is my bad weather experience for the winter, except two a day trips to this web site. Life is to short to drink cheap beer! | ||
