In reality this is when all the snowbirds finally close up their winter cottages and go north for the summer. Won't see them until October. Yeah, now we can go to a resturant and not wait for an hour. Of course the down side is that it's to hot to ride. A A whole bunch of old junk    Report

And here in Boston, we get the opposite -- the summer is when all the college pinheads go home, and I can unwind for a few months. :) Though I admit to not minding taking a ride by Boston Univ on the first warm days of the year, when the girls stop wearing clothes...

Chicago gets tourists for the only 3-4 nice rideable months out of the year....luckily they all drive pretty slow and go home by midnight.  Lake Shore Drive late at night especially during the week is probably the best part about summers in the city.  Well and of course escaping the city in the summer..... 82 GL500I Silverwing 79 Yamaha XS400 Special "Everything worth knowing leaves bruises"    Report
