In the spring/summer/early fall you could reload the main page every 30 seconds and see lots of fresh posts, but the last couple of weeks you can reload several times a day and only see a few posts. What's wrong? people lose interest after they store their bikes? Or maybe feel a little depressed to read bike related stuff when they can't ride anymore? Some of us are still out riding but i guess not that many.. :(
 
I noticed that as well....my guess is in 2-3 weeks time there will be MULTIPLE threads on all the upcoming shows. Boring!!! I was out today, did just under 200k through Bobcaygeon/Lindsay etc. Great day for a ride.
 
Good number of bikes out today! It's my first season and I'm trying to extend it as much as I can! Nice ride through chelatenham badlands...forks...hockley...and airport road! The mornings are tough and cold tho!

Cold is good, as long as it is dry. I was sweating today. I put the liner back in the jacket and it seemed to warm me up pretty quick.

Looks good for the next 2 weeks, trying to stretch it as much as I can too.

For the mornings, I suggest surgeon gloves and long johns.
 
This is the best time of the riding season. Did over 500k today. Belleville to Ottawa for a hot chocolate and back.
The only thing that sucks is the day is do much shorter now.
 
Great day out today to ride. I was thinking in my head, Damn there is more bikes out today than on any given summer day. I saved a few tech questions for the colder months to keep myself active.
 
This is the time of year when people realize that they only have another month or so left to ride in nice weather and that they probably shouldn't waste time on forums.
 
Riding season is over? I guess I missed the memo...

We have had amazing weather for a November. Once winter does set in, usually mid to end November, sometimes later. Its just a short wait till March when its about time to break out the beast again.
 
I have noticed thd slow down on here too. It will get better I'm sure.

My first season for a bike. Got my 03 R6 in July and I'm going to ride it for as long as I can. Once the snow sticks I will chicken out and put it away. Lol just me though.

Yep, been a great autumn - I didn't ride much this summer with so much happening , so enjoying the tail end of the season :)

Still lots of riding left. One bother though is the glare from the way the sun is low except at mid day. This gets really noticeable closer to the winter solstice.
 
I was out last weekend and there's salt/brine everywhere, that's when it ends for me. Now I play with my car and motorcycles become somthing I dream about, by the time March rolls around my wifes ready to move out or have me committed.
