I just got rid of my 08 nightster and I'm now on a 2011 fatboy low, that I love. Man the ride is so much better...but it just dont have the zip my sporty did. So just wondering about the climate you guys live in...

I live along the coast in Nova Scotia and winter here = rain, freezing rain, snow, more snow, rain, freezing rain, snow...Today it's +6c or 43f. The weekend it's suppose to get back up to 21c or 70f. Weather is crazy this time of year. Bike season ends for me end of October and resumes middle of April.
