Lillian, Alabama | I've ridden on New Years day every year for the past 36 years...don't see any reason to stop that now.
Of course that just got a lot easier a couple of years ago when I moved to the Gulf Coast.....last New years day it was 72 degrees.  |

Jasper, MO | We've only missed riding New Year's Day once in the past 11 years, which was NYD 2010. The snow drifts were so deep that time that we couldn't even get out with four-wheel drive. The county road maintainer couldn't even get through--it got stuck. The main roads were opened in a few hours, but we live back on unpaved roads. We were snowed in for two days.
We are planning on going again this year. Our rule is 100 miles minimum. Some years, only us and another couple have finished the entire 100 miles. We have heated gear.

New Bohemia, VA | Sounds like your talking riding at midnight, are you? We've done a new years day ride with a group about 3 of the past six, other times I've been on my own. |

New Bohemia, VA | Double post joke:
Speeding?
A rookie police officer pulled a biker over for speeding and had the following exchange:
Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Biker: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.
Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
Biker: It's not my bike. I stole it.
Officer: The motorcycle is stolen?
Biker: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the tool bag when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: There's a gun in the tool bag?
Biker: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the dude who owns this bike and stuffed his dope in the saddle bags.
Officer: There's drugs in the saddle bags too?!?!?
Biker: Yes, sir.
Hearing this, the rookie immediately called his captain. The biker was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the biker to handle the tense situation:
Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Biker: Sure. Here it is.
It was valid.
Captain: Who's motorcycle is this?
Biker: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration.
Captain: Could you slowly open your tool bag so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Biker: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the tool bag.
Captain: Would you mind opening your saddle bags? I was told you said there's drugs in them.
Biker: No problem.
The saddle bags were opened; no drugs.
Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole this motorcycle, had a gun in the tool bag, and that there were drugs in the saddle bags.
Biker: Yeah, I'll bet he told you I was speeding, too.
