Default I don't know how you guys stand it!!!!

All you guys who have to put their rides away because of winter snow, I don't know how you can stand it. I'm bitching because it's been storming rain here and so my iron mistress is sitting in the garage. Since I don't have a regular job to go to, I don't ride in the rain if I don't have to. I would be a mess if I had to put up with what you guys in other parts of the country put up with. I would probably have to sit around and make motorcycle sounds. Oh well looks like Thursday will be a riding day for me, I'll be out the door at 5:45 am for a ride down the coast and breakfast with my daughter.

We spend the long winter days planning rides and modifying our rides...when it aint too cold to be out in the garage.

I hear ya man. Even here in CO. (Denver, CS)There is no need to to put away your bike for the season, I have been riding almost Everyday still. I suppose to help with some previouse threads lately; you could easily say that if someone puts away their bike for the year and its not even necessary....they're NOT a biker. LOL! People around here do it...its crazy to me.

We just shovel our way out to the garage, sit on the ice cold seat, make funny noises until somebody pries our frozen fingers off the grips, and wish it was just raining.

Never really put my bike away for the winter. The weather changes almost daily. Looks like a cold spell is coming for Christmas but I went riding today as it got up to 50.
