Cold weather is here...the bikes are stored

Yesterday I rode!!
Needed some drive time. 35 degrees overcast but dry. No electric clothes, gloves, grips or seat. Only put on an extra layer underneath. Two lane black top here in Italy. Didn't ride very long or very far but I rode.
So glad I did too. Today is 33 degrees and raining all day, with the rest of the weekend expected to be the same, the worst posssible weather.

Been parked since October, it's all about the road salt. Just not worth it. For $40 a month I rent a storage unit a half mile from the house. 3 sportbikes and 3 HD's all up on lifts, covered, batteries out, tanks full of treated fuel, plus a buncha extra parts all crammed in a 10x20. I like to keep the trailer free in case anything big needs hauling in the winter. The garage stays open for the vehicles and winter projects. Besides, it's hard to run a snowblower around 2 parked cars. Being 100 mi north of Green Bay, that can happen quite regularly. The back garage gets redone in the spring and bye bye storage unit.

Just got in my January ride, made it to 46 and that is supposed to be the warmest its going to get.
Im sure there are more dedicated riders than I but im proud of my having only missed one months ride last December in the past 3 years, granted my qualification of a ride is 30 minutes or more. We live in Northern Illinois so im all good with global warming! Stay safe out there
Edit. Sorry I didn't realize such an old post, simply looked for a cold weather title! Cheers!
