Default Sadness has loomed over... not really but

The day has come... I finally said I have to put the bike up for the winter.. well not up, but it's a wee bit nippley here in Germany. I rode home yesterday (15 Nov) from work, my knee caps felt like ice cubes, so I checked the weather and it said 33 - feels like 27. All is not lost though... time for winter upgrades PrimeApes it is

Yeah, the saddest time of year for me. I'm still hanging on riding day to day. Time's running out though.

Was stationed in Stuttgart. If there was no ice on the roads I road year round. I could get in at least one ride in per month.

Not sure about Club 21, I am almost sure it's not around though...

Supposed to get back into the 40's tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to ride if the roads arn't all frosty again in the morning. Ya I get a couple rides in here and there during the winter, mainly to and from work, but enough to keep the fluids moving and the flat spots from starting

I agree a sad time of year, when you put the bike away for the winter months. Mine is tucked away, and I am deciding what mods I will do over the winter. Spending money on our bikes is year round thing, not just during the riding season.

You could always do a fly and ride to Tampa, Florida.
Here it is 83 degrees and sunny.
Really sucks here in the summer months June - September, but it is a small piece of paradise now through May. here we have 8 months of Paradise and 4 months of Hell.
Good luck with winter mods.

I am going to ride until there is salt on the roads, then I will put it up.
