You know, in California we can ride motorcycles almost any time we want. The weather is rarely a factor. When I read about motorcycle enthusiasts being unable to ride in the winter in other parts of the country, I think I understand where they are coming from, but I really don’t.
Here in Southern California, I don’t feel like riding right now. It isn’t the weather. It is the smoke and ash from the wild fires surrounding Temecula right now. Basically, I don’t want to breathe, but I have no choice. I certainly don’t want to breathe too deeply, and in that instance, I do have a choice.
Stay inside is the mantra I am hearing from health experts, but this can get pretty boring. There is no doubt we are spoiled here in California, and I really have no place to complain. At least my home is still standing (so far).
