Winter In Columbus

Sing that to the tune of Autumn In New York. Sixty-one degrees today. I didn't ride in this morning because I thought I might wind up carrying some cargo around. But check this --- it's warmer in Ohio right now than it is in NorCal.
And now my little Honda that could is heading for 3,300 miles on the odometer. It still cleans up nicely. I've burned all the Sta-bil-ized fuel in the tank and a tankfull after that. What if the motorcycling season this year simply never ends? What if it's always like that? What excuse would I have to leave the Midwest then?
