Mine will be put up at the end of the month. I have a hip replacement scheduled for November 11. Trying to get in as many miles as possible before then but the weather doesnt want to cooperate with me. Hopefully all will go well and I will be back in the saddle end of March 2014. I have rooms booked for Laughlin River Run 2014 and have that set as my goal for the first big ride with my titanium hip. Life goes on!

Got about another month here. As long as the snow stays in the higher elevations and the temps stay above freezing I'm game to ride, but the last few years the gubment has been sliming the roads with some particularly nasty stuff, and it eats the aluminum on my wheels.
I don't mind them sliming the roads if it's gonna snow, but I hate it when they slime when there's no precip, because the slime just stays on the roads and eats everything. Damn gubment ....

Down to the last 3 or 4 weeks here. Going to be rough putting my '13 Fat Boy in storage but I will get her out hopefully by early March.

Thinking positive, your bike will last a lot longer than ours here in the south where we can ride them into the ground 11+ months a year. You also don't have to worry about getting leather-skinned arms and/or skin cancer while riding your cage for five or six months. By the spring thaw, your bike will no doubt be clean and shiny with a few new goodies for the (short) riding season.

I woke up to snow again this morning. The end is coming, but I will not go quietly. It is supposed to warm up to the low 50's this weekend, and I plan on riding.

They go absolutely NUTZ with the salt here in North Jersey. Once that starts I'm pretty much done. Don't mind the cold (Gerbings) but that wet salt gets slung into places I just don't even want to think about.

About 2 weeks here, and then it's off to storage for me too. It usually doesn't really start snowing a lot until December, but once we get a trace of snow, they salt like they own stock in salt mining companies. Our roads literally turn white and stay white long after the snow melts.
