Fair weather riders...

ConradM · 10-21-2012, 06:17 PM

What do you do during the winter? I have a feeling I'm going to slowly go insane not being able to ride.

I'm not even sure what I did before I got my bike.

BLIZANTHIMUM · 10-21-2012, 06:28 PM

mass quantities of hookers and blow.

Hmm, any cheaper suggestions that wont get me deaded in my sleep?

Sethg1981 · 10-21-2012, 06:31 PM

DH mtb, shooting, cleaning and polishing every piece of the bikes. I want to tear down the Kikker and powder the frame black and have the tins painted.

You're already there my friend.

We're all crazy. Just some of us know it.

2wheelsdown · 10-21-2012, 07:41 PM

I do a lot of trail riding on the 4 wheelers. Also hunt. And What Bailey said. Hookers and Blow.

join a gym

e11charlie · 10-21-2012, 07:52 PM

Shooting lots of shooting. Now that there is Internet explorer on Xbox, Internet porn looks like. Oh hookers and blow too.

Punching holes in paper is only entertaining for so long.

ConradM · 10-21-2012, 07:55 PM

I think once I get used to the idea of not riding I'll get back into PC gaming.

I "think" that's what I was doing last fall/winter.

People watching at the mall with a six pack of beer could be entertaining

Dafuq?

Vegasrider · 10-21-2012, 09:23 PM

If it's dry, why can't you go ride? Yeah, Bogus or the Lowman Loop would be out of the question but just around the metro area to keep your skills sharp is realistic. Just wear some thermals.

You can always do a track day down south I guess.

Kenny, if I cant ride Bogus or the Loop its not even worth putting my gear on.

PoltArt · 10-21-2012, 09:35 PM

I do arts and crafts.

On weekends if it's not snowy I put on a couple sweaters and warm pants and go stunting.

cms1172 · 10-21-2012, 10:59 PM

Go see lots of people and make lots of MONEY,
That is what I am gonna do for winter.
Then I can play all summer again.

idrzrider · 10-22-2012, 07:23 AM

For me it's snowmobiling, and if I can't do that I work with my horses. Either gets me out of the house.

redi2ride · 10-22-2012, 08:13 AM

Join one of those cage fighter groups. Learn how to beat the crap outta people. By the time your bones quit aching it will be summer again.

JamesD · 10-22-2012, 09:57 AM

Get a DS and drift in the mud and/or snow.

BLACK n WHITE · 10-22-2012, 02:34 PM

Seriously!! This whole winter thing sucks. Buy a snowboard and kill wolves. That's my plan.

tc305 · 10-22-2012, 04:51 PM

i play a lot of road rash on the pc and go to the gym

Gem STate ST · 10-22-2012, 04:55 PM

I always rode to the south.Owyhee Res.,Map Rock,Grandview and sometimes to Duck Valley.

True that, Bill.

Opportunities are not as plentiful as summertime, but not riding is NOT an option for me.
Winter just means more time to work on the bikes, clean, polish, tune, and getting creative as to where to ride.

If the roads are dry and it's 40+ degrees......wave from your cage as I ride by!

Tilos · 10-23-2012, 09:00 AM

I sell Knapp shoes

I'm kidding

alanj490 · 10-23-2012, 09:34 AM

Conrad get a dirt bike the riding should be awesome this weekend...Its way better than the street no leos just you and the throttle. The only time the asphalt is as fun is at the track.

2wheelsdown · 10-24-2012, 07:19 PM

Or get a 4 wheelers and have fun on the trails. Dirt, mud or snow. It don't matter. That's what I do.

99Bassa · 10-25-2012, 09:44 AM

Trials riding! Great place to ride near Celebration park and it is not quite as cold there as in the valley. There is a hard core group that rides almost every weekend, year round. I will ride every weekend unless it is raining or snowing.....still a fair weather rider. It is a great workout and more fun than I expected. It will also improve your off-road/trail riding skills. Not so sure about road riding effects, if any. Come out on Sunday and check it out. You can even take my bike for a put.

I bet it would help with balance and slow speed maneuvering. Like when you need to turn around in the middle of the street after drag racing.

<--how Conrad drag races

4 wheelers are for people that can't ride dirt bikes...that's just my opinion

Tallan · 10-25-2012, 06:59 PM

I'm loading my bike in my box trailer and taking it to Cali with me to ride the So Cal Coast! Thats 1 of my winter plans so far this year. Winter back home in Cali is like Spring in Idaho!

ckholloway · 10-26-2012, 10:41 AM

I have plenty of work in the shop, between the bike and the mustang I will be kept busy.

I have dirt bikes to. Thought Conrad needed to start slow.

Tallan · 10-27-2012, 06:41 PM

Damn! I sold my dirt bike last year! I was getting bored going out by myself. I never found a riding partner and Im sure you all know how much more fun it is and safer with a riding bro! I went down hard a couple years ago doing 104 on my XR650R flyin down a sand wash out in the Owyhees! Baja style! That sucked with no one around! Only reason I know my speed is cuz I had a Trailtech speedo that would keep track of top speed etc.! Good Times, lol!
