Are you ready for fall foliage motorcycle rides?

   We're ready to just ride around the block when the heat index is under 99 deg.  Feeling like a hot oven isn't fun.

   Pic reminds of the Blue Ridge Parkway during fall.  Some years the fall colors have looked like they're under high voltage power.  Fall is our favorite time to Ride BRP.

Good Ridin'

My preferred time of year and temperature range is spring and summer—so, from March to early September—ideally with temperatures between 15°C and 33°C; the main thing is that it’s "dry" with low humidity. I thrive in dry heat, almost like a reptile. The hotter, the better! In other words, dry heat doesn't bother me at all, but tropical-style humidity completely kills the fun for me. Everyone has their own "best season" and personal preferences, of course! Personally, I love spring every year when everything renews itself and turns lush and green; I’m not so fond of autumn, with its dampness and falling leaves, because for me it always signals the end of the motorcycle season and ushers in the long months of the winter break...



Here is my contrasting "spring picture" to go with Kofla's beautiful autumn shot... ...to each their own!

I feel safer riding in cool weather. When summer temps are in the upper 80's and 90's, comfort trumps safety, and Im riding in a t-shirt and half helmet. In cooler weather, I'm wearing a heavy leather jacket and full face helmet. 50 -75 degrees f are my favorite riding temps.
