After a summer of riding a Honda Shadow 750 (first bike) I decided I wanted to upgrade (to try to keep up with my buddy on his warrior). So I got a 2011 Reddish Copper Stryker. I added the low backrest and the small bags at the purchase. At the same time My dad bought an '09 Raider (similar color) so we can ride together. He orginally got rid of his bikes while I was in college because I started to get interested in buying one. Now that I have a real world career and can afford my own things he is back into with me! Excited about that since family is so important. We rode our new bikes for the last week and just brought them in for storage (free from the dealer with our purchase for this winter). We decided to add exhaust and a power commander, so I got the Cobra Speedster swept exhaust and my dad got a Rush exhaust and some new bags.We are both real excited for spring. I am excited to be a member here and hoping to learn a bunch.

Thanks all! I am more of a lurker on forums, read a lot, don't post much unless I actually have something to say. 8)

It depends on how far north you go. There's generally a 10-15 degree difference between the northern and southern parts of the state (sometimes more). Other than that, it's not much different from where you are now.
