read the thread on "BEST replacement Speaker" , LOL. Seriously bites looking at brand new bike in the garage ! ...even though no snow in this central part of Germany so far, the weather has been less than kind. Don't have my snowmobiles or ATV anymore, I guess on the good side I don't have a snowthrower or plow either ...

Here in NEBRASKA it is usually way to cold between late October till end of March to ride . But this year we had a lot of weather in the 50s and 60s . Didn't really get cold till this last week/Sunday i rode 70 miles . It was 57f. I rode on Christmas eve and New Years eve.

but mostly i read OIL Threads

By February the forum gets really grumpy. By March, the oil threads are intolerable.

I ride till Thanksgiving, get the bike back out in March if the snow is gone...in between never let rain or cold weather keep me from riding. That's the only way to cope.
