OK so I don't really want to ride my 2008 UC all winter and trash it. But I still want to ride and, in Washington, that means I am gonna get wet and slimy.

I have a 2005 FXST that I lowered a little in the rear, added a Night Train seat, and dropped the handlebars with Fatboy risers. It is a fun bike.

I have been thinking of selling it to buy a supermoto for something to ride in the winter.

But then I thought: might as well just ride the FX since I already have it and I love it. But I hate to see it get trashed.

So I was wondering, any of you guys got a beater bike you ride in the rain?

Lets see some pix.

 

I had a yamaha xt600 that was a good beater bike ,but I do ride my harley in the rain the xt was just a different kind of bike to play on.

 

Whats this you speak of BEATER bike?. Ride the damn thing clean it and ride it some more its all the matter of how you care for them. I use to live in Whidbey Island GREAT country up there

 

I got a truck...

 

Just keep it clean man, it wan't made for just sunshine and summer!

 

I ride my Goldwing until it gets below 25* out. I cant take it below that. At least I know I could beat it. It can take it and it has a killer warranty

 

I puchased a Sporty for a beater bike, and it quickly became one of my favorites. I still like it for inclimate weather since it's easier to handle on wet roads. It's also a bike that's easier to pick it up if dropped, and I worry less about it if I need to park it outside somewhere where it may not be too secure.

 

I recently picked up a 93 honda cbr1000 with only 9k miles

 

Buy an EVO Ultra, there cheap and easy to work on...and will out last your Twinkie by about 100,000miles...

 

Is your Ultra going to melt if it gets wet?

A little rain now and then ain't going to hurt it. The engineers thought about that when they designed it.
