anyone else out there experience "spring power shock" when they first take their bike out in the spring?

i do, every spring. after months and months of no riding i lose perspective of how strong and fast bikes are.

I know what you mean, it struck me in Daytona. Alot of people don't see an end to their riding season, so they don't get it. I have friends in Arizona, Florida, California etc. and they ride all year pretty much. Makes me sick.

Come on down the weather's fine!!
We have the usual four seasons.
Summer, Tourist, and Hurricane, and Love Bug.

at least the winter break makes me appriciate the bike and nice weather. the thing is that i don't need six months to lean to apprciate it. two months would be enough.
