I know you say yours is just a toy, but you live in LV. I could only dream of having riding weather all year round and you let it sit for 3 months. To each their own I guess!!
Couldn't have said it better Brother!! Geez

Well, you should know that it gets around high 20's, low 30's (for a low in the winter here)......sorry too friggin' cold for me....

......and maybe 117*- 120* in the summer here.......you like riding in that? If so, God bless you. No thanks for me.

Guess I'm a puss..........life is good.

Transportation during the week when it's warm and dry enough and a toy on the weekends.

Dang didn't know it gets that cold in LV!! My bad! I'm from SoCal originally and my dad rubs it in everyday of every winter while I'm sitting in snow! Screw that you're not a wuss, I wouldn't ride in that winter temp either!! I could do the summer though, traffic would suck!! I did it back when I was living at home but in the summer it only got up to 105-110.

Mine is a toy and for pleasure. Did my time when a bike was my sole source of transportation. The love of riding always remained and I ride it when I can.

Pure toy. No if, ands or buts.

The traffic going to work makes it a chore (and a risk) to ride it to work, and it would sit in a parking lot all day anyway. The reckless early morning grouches ain't worth tangling with on a bike.

For leisure use only and I don't need to make like I am hard core by riding it in bad weather, etc.
