Excitement is definitely in the air for anyone who is planning to go to Daytona Beach week especially since it is only a little more than a month away now. In fact, ever since Christmas I have been waiting to put on that new pair of riding glasses, get on my motorbike and get riding. The trouble with living in the northeast is that I have not been able to get my bike out since early November. I’ve had a couple of months to tinker and get her ready for the 2012 season – which can’t come soon enough for me.
Myself and some friends along with our partners will be heading out the minute 8 March arrives. I can guarantee you the first five hours will be brutal cold, but I’ll be wearing a snow mobile suit, warm gloves, and a face mask. However once we hit Maryland, we will b e shedding the warm clothing and changing into something a little more suitable. And this is when I will be taking off the riding goggles and putting on my new riding glasses. I can’t wait.
I think that myself and my wife will actually move to Florida one of these years. And I can’t wait for that either. Although I like living in the northeast and have lived here all my life, I don’t like the fact that my riding season is so short. Just like most of my fellow bikers, I like riding all year round. We will definitely only have one car when we finally leave the northeast. And only really bad weather is going to force us to actually use the car.
I’m assuming many of you reading this blog post are heading to Daytona next month as well. I would imagine that most of us will be looking forward to catching up with friends and telling a few stories. But I also know we’ll be missing a few who have passed on. One thing I do know, this should really be a season to remember.
If you are heading out to Daytona after a break in the season, you should remember to be safe and sensible when you ride. And if you were lucky enough to get a new pair of riding glasses for Christmas, don’t forget them!
