Default I'm bummed!
I live in the Northeast and just put my ride to sleep for the winter. Truly bummed!!!We're getting ready for some road closures. Annual event, (not because of approaching/impending storm.) Does anyone else have the same problem, or when do you put yours to bed...the motor I mean? I envy you boys in the south that get to ride year-round. Ride safe.

I know the feeling since I grew up in Jersey and then lived in Vermont for 9 years. Though I must admit I did ride during the winter months on those nice sunny days. Not as much when living in Vermont but did find a few days to enjoy a ride.

Living in the south now is much more winter friendly when it comes to riding.

I Rode around the county last weekend 'till It started snowing,about 4" of the white stuff fell last night.I'm officially grounded until probably April.Living in the Rockies certainly has it's draw backs when it comes to riding a motorcycle.Over the years I've learned to get the most out of the riding season I do have though.12 -14kmi.May thru Oct(7k mi. in 3 weeks vac. this summer,9600 mi in 4weeks vac. last summer) .Looking forward to retiring in 3 1/2 years,Loading up a 5th wheel,living in Ariz. for 4 or 5 mo's.Then look out!
