Many of us that live in places like Wisconsin yearly put on as many or more miles than those that live in places with no winter.
Our bikes are safe and warm in their room. Went down this morning and put a thin coat of Zaino's on the M8. Just a reason to touch it and mess around some with the audio update 1.20.3.
Winter the ATV and snowmobiles come out, a different kind of riding.

I first moved to the Greenville/Spartanburg, SC area. Later I moved to the foothills of NC. Both are great riding areas. My big braggin' rights for my first winter there was riding on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day!
I haven't lived in those areas since 1997 and miss the great riding.

Have had a condo in Myrtle beach since 91 that place has gotten so over populated traffic jams every day, in the summer forget it. If your away from the water less crowded but get used to 95-100 degrees in summer humidity to match.

compared to your 70 or 100 miles I guess I don't feel that bad.. I put 200 when I picked her up in early Dec. Added another 150 since then.. now it's waiting for snow and rain to go away. At least I've been keeping myself busy with add-ons. My winter projects list keeps growing every time I fire up my computer!
