Yes, I have no desire to ride in cold weather or roads that have had salt dumped on them.

I did when I lived in Virginia. I used that time to work on the bike. In Florida winter is the best riding season so it is necessary to have multiple bikes here and when one is under renovation I can ride the other(s).

If i continue to ride motorcycles in this day and age of the cell phones, ive promised myself i wont ride in the rain or if its close to freezing. Since in oregon that is the whole winter....well the last time i rode my bike was 4 months ago.

I rode yesterday. Winters in Alabama are typically 30s in the morning, 50s in the afternoon. We get a little snow, we get some warmer days too so I squeeze in a ride whenever I can.

I'll keep riding until there is snow or ice, which turned out to be today. Weather forcast isn't good for the next few days and i already miss riding. I don't know how you guys cope with no riding for months on end.
