Same here,Nov 8th.Hopefully can get a few more short hops in this week,one could ride all year round out here,but just not enjoyable enough for me to justify that horrendous ICBC rip-off($120/month) for a short ride or two a month over the winter.Get this,went in yesterday for storage insurance from the ICBC asshats-$151 for six months! Went with Beacon instead,full comprehensive coverage on the road or in storage for a full year for $260...

I usually have mine put away by Halloween. The weather is supposed to be real nice this coming week, so I have put it off for at least another week.

Depends on the weather; last fall it happened on Halloween. Plug in the battery tender, throw the cover on and see ya in spring.

Forgive the ignorance, but are you storing it in heated garages and storage units? Or does it matter as long as the bike has adequate shelter?

We are having a lil disagreement over here.

It doesn't matter. But it sure is nice to have a place that is accessible and heated so you can 'play' on your bike during the off season.

Been wintering bikes and collector cars in unheated storage for over 30 years with no ill effects.
