So I caught a nasty bug in Florida, and I think I'm on the verge of dying. I've passed on riding two seperate days this weekend. It's now been 8 days since I last rode, and I'm going stir crazy. I don't know how you bastards from up north deal with it. I can't imaging going months without riding.
Now if I could only get over being sick!!! :aargh4:

I can't really feel sorry for you. Our riding season here is a little over three months.

Yeah, but you could move.:biggrin: :Banane01:
Colds suck.
............. I know SFL got it also..........
He didn't get anything *that* bad. He hasn't missed any riding days :wink:
That ice cold salt water sure did loosen up some **** in my lungs though! I normally wouldn't have ridden in such cold weather/water.
As far as winter, I prefer hurricanes.

Are you talking about Daytona? I never ONCE thought, "man, it sure is cold out here." The water was super warm, and the wind was a non-issue with a wetsuit on.

Yep Daytona. Saturday was the day that killed my chest. The wind and the water spray were ****ing cold! I felt like the wind was slicing the skin on my legs. I wasn't wearing a wetsuit Saturday. :smashfreakB:
Sunday I wore a dive skin and it was less windy. No probs that day.

winter? It ain't winter. Do you see any ice on the lakes? I pulled this off a south haven web cam a few days ago.

Well this winter has been pretty mild, but I bet that water is high 30's. I saw ice on a lake off I94 yesterday.

Yeah not riding for months on end does suck. I lived near Mobile, AL for 3 years and got to ride all year round... then moved back north... man it's hard getting used to not riding all winter again. I think I need to move down with my brother-in-law in Palm Beach Gardens, FL...

Yup I'm sick too. Just hit me yesterday so I'm not sure if I picked it up in FL or not.
As for not riding for months on end that is why I try to make at least one trip to FL in the winter maybe two if I'm luck like this year.

Damn, 4 month without Sex and all you get is seeing and reading these nice stories on the forum :Flush:

I've been going on just over a week now. Still coughin up all sorts of nastyness. I finally broke down and saw a doctor last night (I never go to the doctor). He said figures it's a viral thing and gave me a laundry list of over the counter meds to take.

I can deal with the cold weather even though I would rather not have it. I can't see how someone can own a ski and not live near an ocean. I don't even take the ski out if there are no waves.
For all you guys with the colds try http://www.mucinex.com/. This stuff gets all the stuff out of your chest. It's just an over the counter expectorant.

mucinex is what I've been taking, it's been doing a decent job of keeping my coughs down. It takes forever for it to kick in though, and if I don't overlap doses enough, I can feel it just stop working, and then my coughs come back.
