Able to ride on February 2026 in Central Missouri

[FJ1200W]

Riding in February in central Missouri is a rarity, God Bless weather change!

My buddy Kenny has done the Harley/Indian routine, with the latest greatest machines of their making, and he has now landed on a Honda GL1800 with a automatic transmission.

He loves it, he really does.

I enjoy blasting past him effortlessly.

This past Sunday it got up to 62 in northern Illinois.  I got both bikes out.

Sweet! Great picture!

If I get up that way I'll give you a heads up

Those are some great pics guys!   FJ1200W, looks like my '89. I have it and 3 more, all varied states of project status, up for sale. I'm working to move from OR to the greater Springfield area in the next couple months. Its really nice to see that there will be more windows of opportunity to ride than I was led to believe. I grew up in SoCal and I ride practically year year, even through our "rainy season". I hope to have access to ride this year, especially with it being the 100 Year Anniversary of Route 66! There are supposed to be all kinds of things going on, especially in MO.

There are some incredible roads in the Springfield area, east and south, you'll love it.
