Default Canada winter riding

It's January in Toronto, and for some weird reason it's 12 degree's (54 for you yanks) Raining, but I still have to take the bike out this aft. This is fantastic!!! Very seldom do I get to ride in the winter unless I do the trailer thing to Florida, See you guy's on the road.

Enjoy! Her in MI. 60+. But the drizzle won't let up.[:@]I'm tempted to go out anyway but I hate like hell to have to clean up when I'm done. Hope you have a good time.

More warm weather is coming your way. Enjoy it while you can. I may play golf this week in NY. I love those warm winter days!

Yeah it's in the 50's down here in New Brunswick for the next 4 or 5 days. Last year was the same around this time....I only remember because I was out riding last January 3rd.

Because of the accident this summer that my wife & I had, there won't be any riding this January though.........besides, the bikes are still sitting at the dealership in pieces[:@]. But for you guys that get out.....take an extra ride around the block for me

Warmed up here in Cambridge, Ontario, but won't stop raining. The City dumped WAY too much salt on the roads this time around. Overtime won't be seeing the roads anytime soon. Crap. Last year was way better. Put her on the road December 19th until January 2nd. Then, only 8 weeks until the permanent riding season started.

I think I'm going to be Dragon-bound in a month or so to get it out of my system...
