As long as there is no ice on roads, I'm good. I would say Southern North Carolina, South Carolina or Tennessee. Would still need some cold weather gear, but could ride about anytime if dressed properly. Of course, if you want to ride in warm weather, would need to move to Southern California, South Texas, or Florida.

North Carolina! It's what I do almost.

Past me for sure. Snowed most of the day yesterday and spiting snow now. Way to much salt on the road, better trailer through northern NH.

With global warming if you are willing to wait you'll be able to ride year round in about 20 years.

Some guys rode all winter last year in the Okanagan. Same in Lower Mainland. Looking at the highway cams in Kelowna it doesn't look like riding weather today though.

I ride year round here in TN. I have Under Armour cold gear and a heated jacket liner for really cold days.
