Winter has come to my neighborhood as of tonite!  No more shortsleeve shirts, jeans, and pair of thin gloves.  Therefore, I'm beginning a thread that has the principle of a childhood game many of us played when we were little kids. List my 1 given item and then add 1 of your own.   think you'll catch on in a quick! It'll be fun as well as informative.        Here it goes...........   
Now that winter's close at hand, I want my fellow riders to watch out for:  sand and gravel in the intersections; it can take you down!

Reindeer!  Grandma got ran over by one a few years back.     Seriously, the deer are all over this time of year and they run out into the road like someone is shooting at them.

overpasses--there is no warm(er) ground underneath, like the roads, and they can frost over very quickly when temps drop.  Fall down and go boom.

  I was going in for my annual physical and it was a Sunny brisk December morning and decided to take my scooter. I pulled up to park and put my foot down on some leaves and out it went then over the bike went ever so slowly. I jumped off and picked up my bike. Walked inside and I was first one there and they called me right in. When I saw the doc he said "John, did you drink a lot of coffee this morning? Your blood pressure was a little high. I said "Doc, you think picking up an 800 lb motorcycle right before they took my blood psi had anything to do with it!" He said, is that your yellow bike out there? You passed me on the way here and I thought what a beautiful looking bike...I said Yep that's mine...and it's heavy too! He asked who helped you pick it up, I told him I did it myself. He said never mind, your doing just fine!

Snowbirds and Q-Tips!!!
Yesterday in Oldsmar had one decide lane-sharing is legal in Florida (passed me on the right in my lane at 45mph)
A couple miles down the road old guy in Caddy needed to occupy my space while I was still using it.
Just another winter day in sunny Fla.
