It's official. Winter is here and the bike is now put away for the winter. First snowfall of the winter occurred this weekend and the trucks are out with the salt. I hate winter. Once the salt is laid down that's it for me. How do others decide when to call it quits for the winter?

I'll put mine in hibernation the end of Oct.....and try not to think of
'lost riding time' if the weather stays warm and dry.
With the first sight of black ice, the road crews are layering the roads
with salt/sand and liquefied calcium chloride....ain't no way I want anything
to do with that $hit getting on my bike......
November brings hunting season for white-tail deer, and December will begin
snowshoeing weather.
Its a long wait for April to arrive over here, so we have to amuse ourselves
somehow.

Soon as the salt goes down. Learned the hard way when I ruined a set of Fatboy wheels.
Bike goes in the trailer and if I'm lucky enough to go south, it comes with me.

When I lived in N.J. I rode year round exept when there was Snow or Ice on the ground, A scarf was the trick to keep warm and a leather jacket, After an hour I used to have to stop to defrost my steel tips in my boots LOL...Crash
