Damn, but I had to pack her away... getting too cold up here in the frosty north land. But, for a first year rider, I am pleased to say that I put on exactly 8,000 miles since May 14th. Not too bad for a newbie!

So, those of you who get to keep on riding, think of your poor frozen bro's up north and appreciate your freedom!

P.S. - this sucks! April 1st is a LONG way's away!

 

I could never live anywhere that required me to stop riding for that long.

 

Yep, another monday night getting drunk in the garage, drewling over my bike!

They say we may hit 60 tomarow, I'll be riding in that!

but it has been in the 30's and 40's lately

 

Yea, we just got our first big dump of snow, it'll be mid to late April before I can ride again.[&o]

 

I does occasionally get cold here in North Texas, sometimes even gets into the teens, but the roads generally stay clear. If a rider can stand below 45 degrees, then the longest time without riding is about a one week stretch....maybe two or three times per "winter". That would suck not ridingfrom now until April, though. But you did the right thing. Snow, ice, and bitter cold are not the ideal conditions to be riding in.

I live in the Pacific northwest and it gets to about 40 now at night, sometimes cooler. Is it not good to run the bike in that weather? Maybe I am grasping at straws here. Just want to do what is right for my bike.

 

It is fine to run it in the cold. You should have some good cold gear for yourself. We generally put em down for snow and ice conditions. "How cold is toocold" is for you to decide.

 

For those that must pack it away, my condolences. Three words for ya......

Fly and Ride!!!

 

I have cold weatherand rain weather gear liners for my suit. But I just wanted to make sure I wasn't wreckin anything. Besides, if it rains (which it doesn't mostly here), then she stays in the garage.

 

Also put mine away. Just moved back from VA and had no time to ride before parking it at SPHD. Live in Minneapolis so the season is pretty much over. What was I thinking!!
