On a recent trip to VT, I was struck at how cold was the early mornings and at the unmistakable signs of fall on some of the trees. I too wonder where the summer has gone.

Is it me or do the seasons and years fly by with increasng age or just seem so?

irondad: A nice poetic metaphor. I'll remember that one!

conchscooter: Stock up and be well. Looks as if Fay passed north and east of you. I've been watching Key West Diary to see how things are going.

ale: Would love to make it to Italy someday. Kim and I have missed several opportunities. Her cousin played pro basketball there, for the Rome team and then another one I can't remember. We had a place to stay and everything...

Orin: Seattle is also on the list of to do visits. One day, one day...

irondad: Yes sir, it was my Vespa in Rider magazine. One of the shots when I was riding home from work in the snow. It was so long between the fellow getting the picture and writing the article and me seeing it that I forgot all about it.

r.g.: 104... ugh. Anything over 85 is miserable for me. Bring me the real riding weather--- 40 to 60 degrees.

kano: I love riding when the leaves start to change. September here starts the trend.

Summer is still here in full force (Not gale force though thankfully-hoping the best for you Conch') with temps in the mid eighties. I don't handle this kind of heat too well although it makes for nice night rides. But the one Sam Adams Black Lager means I'm not going anywhere tonight.

You've always had my attention with the tales of your adventures in the autumn. In summer there's always so much to do. Fall seems to open up a little as far as free time goes. I dodged a squirrel on Saturday myself. Craxy little bastich...

I love the Fall especially when I’m under a Hurricane Watch. Blech.

I think all of us who live and ride in the Northern portions of this country suffered an equally brutal winter last year from coast to coast. Even those folks I know who normally enjoy the Winter months aren't quite ready for our Summer to be over with.

Like Ale said, my favorite time of the year is approaching. I love Autumn rides, the color of the Tamarack pines in the Rockies and even the angle of the sun as it begins its migration to the south.

At least I have that to look forward to. My cold weather gear is all ready, here's hoping that I don't have to rely on it so heavily this year.

I can relate to squirrel consciousness, seems like fall is in the air around here too, has been all summer except for the next few days which are expected to top 100. I’m looking forward to September, it being my favorite riding month.

As much as I complain about winter the 104 degrees predicted for today has me swooning for Fall.

I keep looking at the picture of the Vespa and it suddenly dawns on me. Wasn’t there a photo of that scooter in the snow in Rider magazine recently? Something about a “Rounders” club I think.

Steve, if Italy isn't practical, you should come to Seattle. Record-breaking temperatures are forecast through the weekend (the records being in the upper 80s F). People will go nuts. We've got to DO SOMETHING OUTDOORS! THE SUN IS SHINING!!!
