Year-round riders sought

Post by Bulldog »

Hi all,

Excuse the sales pitch, but please hear me out... It's not like we want your money or anything... Do you wonder, soon after the leaves change color, if you're suffering from some undiagnosed mental disease? You're the sole motorcycle rider out there, you brave rain and cold, sometimes even snow. Or maybe you're one of those hearty Texans braving high temps in the middle of the summer. If this applies to you, you might be a Rounder, and now have a place to call home: http://www.yearroundriders.com. The brand-new Rounders website contains information about riding in "extreme" weather (both hot and cold), as well as a forum where people can ask questions, get a good laugh and hook up with other Rounders in their area. Signing up is free, and being a Rounder is easy, just ride at least once a month, every month! If you’re interested, please check out http://www.yearroundriders.com and if you like it, join the happy bunch, no strings attached!

Will there be cleaning tips? My R still has small amounts of salty crud in the nooks and crannies after last year's New Year's Day ride. :lol:

Thanks for the link.

Yes bunkie there are cleaning tips.

The forum is new but many of the posters are long time Rounders. The group started informally a year ago when a group of riders found a similar intrest in riding year round. The web site gives you a chance to share their experience and add yours.
I'm not lost, I'm just purposefully wondering around

When it is cold outside I stay indoors and eat pizza.

Hmm, I guess Im a rounder. Living in Phoenix I ride if its not raining. I dont like getting caught in the rain on the bike, we have these nasty storms that roll in. It starts with a dust storm, then the lightening, then the rain kicks in usually with gusto. Other than that I ride.

I feel kinda guilty joining. I live here in Phoenix, however I do ride in the Thunderstorms and I do ride even when its 110 degrees outside so I can qualify for a hot rounder.
