Not me ! I always like to fool myself into thinking I will ride on the nice days,......nice being 40'ish. And in my younger years, I would ride even into the 30s, but I think those days are over.
But, who knows, I could sneak a short one in here and there, so isn't that a good enuff reason to not go into storage ? Besides that whats the difference anyhow. I keep a float charger connected most times anyway, so the bike don't know any difference.
Anyway, keep in touch

I think myself lucky this year. Normally we have snow in October here, and I made it all the way to the end of November. It won't get much above freezing (and that rarely) until March. I did ride at 2degC, but I am diabetic and it's hard to keep my fingers and toes warm, and I have a touch of arthritis in my hands, so they really hurt after a cold ride.
I bought the bike on Sept 6, expecting to get 5 or 6 weeks in, so I did OK.

It was almost 70 here today. But don't worry, we are going to be cold tomorrow. All the way down to the 40's I think. Imagine Paladin, Verys and Serwobot shivering just thinking about it.
Personally, I will be ready for winter, at least a NC winter.

End of WA riding season means time to follow the birds south. Have been enjoying AZ riding since we got here 3 weeks ago. Glad to get back on the sidecar rig again and still use the bagger and remember to lean on the corners and out my foot down at stops. So far no problems going back and forth. Max

End of motorcycle season means the start of snowmobile season around here. I don't like snowmobiling as much as biking but it's something to do when you can't ride the bike. I do some snowshoeing and winter camping also.

As long as it is above 20 F and the roads are clear of snow/ice, I ride. Sometimes I look like a Mad Max eskimo and fortunately it is only 10 miles to work.

If it doesn't rain I'm gonna try to ride as long as I can. 64 is the high and 45 the low, but on the bike it still feels like frozen...brrrrr. Don't have a garage so I'm going to try to ride as much as possible to keep her going til it warms up again.
