FLORIDA! What a sick cruel joke....."you can ride all year", sure, but what's the point? All the roads are flat and straight!
That said, even flat straight roads are wecome the first week in March, planning for Bike Week gets me through the winter.

Move to a warmer climate. We ride all year long here in FL. I miss the bike when I drop it off for service the night before!!

It's easy getting through the New York winters. Just tear the bike down and do all the mods you want to do over the winter. Oh Yeah, I also ride my 4 wheeler.[sm=icon_rock.gif]

I live in the northeast also (Friggin' Joisey) and got a feeling I'm going to go F*%$ crazy. Got a RK back in July and have done about 4k so far. What am I planning on doing to get through the winter? First of all I put a sofa and a fridge in the garage.....get it? Just ordered a pair of Wild 1 RK bars and all the braided cables. That will be project #1. I figure by spring she will be looking and riding sweeter than ever. The only question I haven't figured out yet is Coors light or Bass Ale.....quantity or quality?
