We were planning on having out of town family this weekend, but they had to bail (sick kid), so I might actually get out on Friday.

Put 140 cold ones on it today, trying to get it broke in so I can DynoTune. I'll try to get another 100 on it tomorrow afternoon in the warmth after we eat. I'll put it in the garage early next week after the tune, but when the weather gets over 40 and throws a little sunshine, it'll be back out .

Last rides shouldn't be until the days drop into the mid 50's.
Get some chaps and keep riding.

They said Harley is only shipping 5 at a time.

That's bull&#(@. My dealer has enough that they do them on a "walk-in" basis.

Purchase some heated gear! Rode mine in 27F temps last week. Getting cold wasn't an issue.

I'll be riding today. Weather is going to be nice, mid 60's. There will be days throughout winter that I will get to ride. Outside of that it stays in a heated shop on the bat tender.

That has to suck putting your bike up for the winter. I feel for y'all! I will dedicate a few miles of each ride this winter to all my northern buddies who can't ride!

When the girls at the office asked me why I moved from Ohio to NC 7 years ago, I told them it was so I can ride all year long. They smiled and looked at me like I wasn't telling them the truth, but that is the truth.

I got a bad case of Cabin Fever when I lived up North. Glad I solved it.
