High of 19 celsius today and it was 21 yesterday here in Southern ON so I'm still riding. Once the daytime highs are only in the single digits will I finally accept the season is over

and it also helps that these air cooled engines run so nice in the cooler fall temps that it's a shame to stop riding.

Hmmm, forecast for 15C today and tomorrow. May have to pull the gal outta the garage and go for a spin. We don't get these temps this time of year and there's no salt or gravel on the roads yet. PMS is a beeatch.

This weekend doesn’t look to bad so I might be able to get at least one more ride in. Forecast at 10 degrees both days with sunshine. Glad I didn’t put her away yet.

LOL That's so funny, same here. Get it all cleaned think it's cold enough that you wont get bugged and sure enough. I use a small spray bottle a squirt of Dawn soap and warm water with a micro fiber cloth (then another under the spray to catch the dripping water) this time of year. Warm water melts bug juice quicker and you don't have to wash whole bike just the front end bug guts. This Saturday November 16th looks like we can sneak in another 2 hours in the afternoon......we're stretching it now.

Hey Candubrain, I wish brother, wifey had me doing Christmas lights today since it was so nice out (actually enjoyed it in milder weather for a change). I kept coming in the garage looking at my bike, wishing I was riding. I got a real nice parabolic heater that has worked the last two winters like a charm, keeping it at 25 in the garage for pennies a day (most of the heat is centered on the bike). I think I may have to put her on the hoist and cover her soon for the winter unfortunately. Can't wait to retire to FLA for the winters and trailer her down. Wifey says she'll fly down with Doggo and meet me there LOL. She has no interest in bikes, hence the solo seat. Merry Christmas everyone!
