I voted Summer. Spring allergies are gone and Fall Allergies haven't started yet. If not for Hay Fever I would have voted spring or fall. Its not as hot. Not much winter riding around these parts.

I voted Summer. Spring/Fall too unpredictable in Wisconsin. Last Thursday was 80, Saturday 37/snow flurries. Pain to pack all 3 season's clothing on a trip.

Different areas, different times. Did Fla Keys in Feb and just got back from Colorado.
Anytime no ice on the road is good for me

Fall is probably the prettiest season but rain soaked leaves on the road takes most of the fun out of it for me.
