Yesterday rode my bike in 65 degree weather. Then not long after i got home a cold front moved through. 3 hours after i rode it started sleeting. Then the power went out. House started getting pretty cold. We where thinking about going to a hotel because the power company had no eta when the power would be back. But then we looked outside. Yep tons of snow belting down. And our 4 wheel drive suv just went to the shop for engine issues. And we cant fit everyone in the Honda Accord. Really dont help that where on top of a mountain and its about a 2 mile stint down just to get off and they rarely plow the road. So we huddled up in one room burned candles and waited it out. Power came on about 2am. Woke up this morning to about 4 inches or so outside. And windy as heck. Really makes me think about trading the new Camaro SS thats in the garage for a new f150 so we have another 4 wheel drive vehicle. This sucks. So much for 65 sunny and riding. Im guessing the bikes in for the winter for good now. At least i got one last ride.

 

Yup. Same crap here minus the power outage and the mountain.
Winds sustained at 30 mph through Monday. Gusts near 60. Temp was 35 when I went out for coffee this am.

 

Yup....welcome to winter! Supposed to blow about 30mph today.

 

The bike is officially put away until spring. 72° on Friday but there was a major cool off yesterday with a nice layer of salt on my street.

 

Same here, got in a nice ride friday (70 degrees) sat, snow, wind, low 30's

 

Pretty hard to the tire chains on so they don't hit the fender and swing arm LOL. Same here was 75 Friday and 40's this weekend

 

Ahhhhh...., Michigan in November. I feel fortunate I will put bike away tomorrow. Extra week of riding this year. Monday to be sunny and maybe 39-40 degrees. Then she sleeps in heated storage for the winter.
Snow??? It will come.

 

Record high in this area Saturday. It's now 34 with light snow. They're all done now if any salt is applied to the road.

 

Yep, same here 45 mile gusts this morning. 70 yesterday. Supposed to be mid 60's by the middle of the week. I ride until it gets about 25 here as long as no snow on the ground.

Have a great Winter!

 

Do they still salt the roads out there? Must be hell for corrosion on cars.
