I share your pain. Woke up today and the temp was 25 (yes F). Put her away with fresh fluids, battery tender and a nice heated office. I work in a building that is currently got one side unrented. So she can sit on a heated, capeted floor. But I can't ride.............

Try living in Montana if you put your bike away when it was 45 degrees or under you would just leave it stored. If the snow aint sticking I ride. I have ridden at least a little every month for as long as I can remember. Electrics help LOL>

Wes07RG - I wouldn't sell that Widder just cuz yer in Dallas. It gets a might bit chilly that it would REALLY come in handy - of course, if you wanna let it go cheap to a really good home....

Its been running up and down the scale in Dallas 80 down to 40 and back up. I rode yesterday at 48, by Saturday or Sunday its supposed to be back in the 70's. I don't like to ride wet, but I can usually stay warm enough to get on with it.

I can't help but feel for you guys up north. Especially the ones that are really into riding. There is only a few days a year down here where its not good to ride. We rarely get below the 30's, and then not for long. My bike is my main transportation, but I know that wouldn't be the case if I lived in a more northern state.

Ya'll keep warm, detail your bikes, and plan for Spring, it'll be just around the corner.

It's gettin' cold here in Michigan, too. I'll ride when temps are in the 40's and 50's, but when it's freezing, I'm done.

Chilly in Central PA. Rode last Sunday in 45° for about 2 hours. That's all I could take in regular gear.

Hoping to get out this Sunday for a bit, as long as no snow no salt.
