Default Winter blues

Already here in NY we have snow on the ground and temps in the 30's. The chances of being able to ride again until late March will be few if any. Bought my 07 Superglide Custom in June and put 6000 miles on it and now I have to wait until the 1st of April before I can really ride again. They put salt on the roads here like it's free. Just wondered if anyone else is feeling the same way. Better start working on the trailer so I can haul it to warmer ground to ride.

We got a couple of inches in Elmira last night. I'm hoping to ride on Thursday though. I'll ride in the cold as long as it's dry. Last year I was able to ride up to Jan. then I took the bike apart for the rest of the winter. No money for mods. this year so as long as it's dry I'm riding.

Yeah, I'm in WI and have seen snow 2X but nothing on the ground. I keep hoping for one more warm day to ride. I know I am in denial and probably should change the oil and put a cover over the bike and call it good, but.......................... There is only one month of the year that I have not ridden and that is December. I was hoping to break that one this year

We've been lucky here so far. 72 today, mid 70's the next couple of days.

Brrrrrr -> Think 'global warming' - same kind of late Nov/early Dec last year but January warmed nicely (for a few days anyway!)

winter sucks
I just got back from a short ride today in St. Paul, MN. Just some local errands, with no sun and temps in the low 40s it wasn't going to be a 150+ mile day today. I did pickup my turkey, and proudly rode home with it strapped to my luggage rack. I'm not ready to come to grips with winter with a bike in the garage. I've been in WI and MN for 15 years. 15 years ago when I last had a bike it was while in TX. My wife is afraid of what will happen over the winter with no riding.

... I'll stop my rant.

+1, winter sucks - but it freezes out many of the undesirables <grin>

LOL Same here Bro! Right now the weather up here in MA is just a hair too cold to ride (actually snowed for a few minutes today) & I keep hoping thewe'll have just one more decent weather day!I just can't bring myself to cover her just yet...probably should just call it a season though, huh?
