Fall is Upon Us

While the official start of Fall was last week, the weather in North Central Florida hasn't made any drastic changes until the past few days. Typical of Florida, a rainy day brings along a cold front that stays in the area until another the cycle repeats. As a result, riders have to dust off their warmer riding gear.

Riding in the early weeks of Fall is my favorite time of year to ride.  The leaves are changing, the skies are a beautiful blue with few clouds.  There's almost always a nice breeze that causes the leaves to fall from the trees.  The outside temperature is cooler, but not cold enough to make the experience a hassle.  With the season change comes a reduction in bugs, pollen, dust, dirt, and the overall grime that is associated with the Summer months.  Washing and detailing the bike can be done much less often as a result.  I love detailing my DRZ.  The bike just seems to ride better when it has that showroom shine.  People assume my DRZ is a brand new, but when I tell them it is a 2006 their reaction is always priceless.  "No way!" or "Oh, wow!". That never gets old.
