Here in NS, Canada the riding season is over also. Had 6" of snow a couple of weekends ago, all melted though, thank God.

Very depressing. Time to get the cleaning rags out and wish for spring.

Have a good winter................yek.

Wife & I just arrived home from a short 75 miler. We had to pack-down the turkey somehow

It's tough when you have to ride in So Kali in the high 60's [X(]

From what you guys up north are saying it makes me appreciate living in TN, at least we get a few days to ride during the winter. In fact I rode the last two Sundays.

I agree to tinker and "build" on the bike over the winter....but, were it me I wouldn't start it up and push it around the garage. I would just change the oil, full tank of fuel with stabilizer, and put a tender on it. I also fog the engine, but that's me.

I'm already depressed and winters just starting, I've saved a few things to do to the bike but that stuff will only last a few days. The daughter is living on campus nowand the old dog died last month. Empty nest wasn't a problem as long as I could ride.
