Who hasn't put their bike to bed yet?

never, but day time temps don't drop below 30f ( most of the time).

i'll do night drives back from work as low as 17f , but my hands hate me for the rest of the night lol.

 

After seeing that, a song comes to mind....

ba ba ba bada bada baa ba ba bada

I'm still riding here at 40 degrees.

:twisted:

 

My cutoff is 37-39 absolute minimum. If it's below that, there's way too much of a chance of passing through an area where it's below 32 or has been and ice and street motorcycles just don't mix. As long as the sun is out and it's 37 or above, I'll roll.

 

Never gets too cold to ride here... Not in the North anyway

 

Not even close. Phoenix AZ. here. The weather is just starting to get nice. I ride every day to work.

 

Ride all winter here (I dont have a car). It'll be in the 30s for tonights ride home, but teens and snow in january so no complaints yet.

 

I know that I am pushing it but the forcast for the weekend here in Cincinnati is mid 60's for this weekend. I am planning a 200 mile solo on Sunday.

 

I'm holding out till Friday the 13th in Port Dover. Is when a bunch of biker gets together in a small town in southern Ontario. Any locals are going let me know.

 

Lol i ride whenever i can! It was a sunny 60 here during the day, but windy. Pleasant ride overall! I probably wont put her away till it gets close to freezing. I'd had my share of slip and falls in the rain, not trying to do it on ice lol. Need a better jacket!!

 

Looks like I may eeeek out a few more riding days. Just when I get ready to put her to bed the forecast changes. Today 30's for a high with the wind chill Sat. low 50's Sunday 60 and Tues Wed near 60.

Got a bike swap and sale to go to this Sat. and looksl ike I will be riding!
Yeah me!

Enjoy...

It's 6:20 am as I post this message. Just finished a 120 mile RT ride down the Columbia River gorge. 48* F, raining like a biotch! Dry and toasty warm!

Did I mention I was on the Beemer? Cheatin' SOB! Heated grips on high, seat warmer on low, windshield in full up and locked position, and livin' large.

I did, finally, get my Maxim back from my son in law a couple days ago. Yeahhhhhhhhh! I've got a couple maintenance items to perform and a relay for aux lighting to install on Miss Aubergine today and then I'm going to break down the Maxim, do all maintenance and a paint job this winter. She's going to be BMW mauve metallic to match her big sister! Will probably have the frame powder coated dark gray just to be different. Looking forward to the work!

Well the weather channel says 47 for the high today but I'm goin out for a quick ride after lunch. Sunday and Monday 63 and 65. I recently moved across PA and i am out near State College now in between several mountains so it can get fairly windy but some nice roads out here. I left the Seca with my brother back in Philly but brought my Scrambler with me out here.

 

The Rain has started here in the frozen north, and probably won't stop till April. Not so much the cold, I can't stand getting road scuz on my baby,so I'm putting her to bed now..... Next! This winters project, another RJ750, this one is blue ... 1981, cost me $500. Wives are social creatures, can't understand why mine doesn't realize my red RJ needs a friend!

 

I still ride to and from work everyday. It has been as low as 20-25 recently. Daytime temps are usually 30-40, higher if we're lucky. I will ride as long as the streets are clear. Coldest ride, Last year it was 2 degrees with a - 9 windchill. Just dress the part and all is good. I hate not being able to ride so I do as much as I can. Here in North Dakota, we're lucky to not have snow on the ground.

 

Some people might not think North Carolina is not a southern state, but it is november and the temp today is 65 and sunny. It is still riding weather around here. I never put my bike to sleep I just don't ride as often.

 

They're sayin right now it's supposed to be 10 degrees and chance of rain.. i doubt i'll be goin if it stays like that, BUT if it changes i may take a trek down there. If only just to roll through a few times.

 

Had mine out yesterday. 60F and sunny, don't get a lot of chances like that in November in SD.

 

i am going out in 2 hours. Anything over 55 any sunny i am on the bike.

 

Not to bed yet, but resting.......
We had a couple of inches of snow dumped on us Friday....
Stll hanging on....... :/

 

It's supposed to be 65 today. A friend of mine recently bought his first motorcycle (a Ninjette 250) and called and asked if I wanted to go for a ride. Ow, Ow, you're twisting my arm!

Be safe out there!

 

It easily hit 65 here in Buffalo NY today. Glad it wasn't put away for the winter! Great riding weather - warm & sunny!

Now it can be time to ski

 

just got back from a ride today, 200 miles and two states.

 

My baby is still wide awake! She'll be turning the odometer tomorrow too!

 

Had mine put away for a month due to issues with starting in the cold. Got it out this past Saturday after work and spent an hour trying to get it to start. Little bit o luck and some starting fluid got her going. Rode 300 miles saturday and sunday combined. Just tucked her away in my shed a couple of hours ago for a winter of hibernation and projects. To all of those who dont live in my area, ride safe and enjoy the not-michigan weather.

 

60F and sunny today.
Rolled her out, set the choke, thumbed the starter and she fired right up.
Hadn't been run in over a week of <45F.
Boy She sounds gnarly choked and cold. :twisted:
Will ride the next 2 days as it will hit 60 or better.
I keep filling her up and adding Sea Foam only to have it get nice again.
Sea Foam running $12 bucks a can now. :x

 

My '81 fired right up Saturday after sitting for over a week and it's been <32 here.

SIXTY THREE today for Motown! Looks like I'll be riding to work at least once more.

I haven't been all that impressed with SeaFoam; I'm going back to Sta-Bil this year.

 

It was 94deg F here today, summer's well started, this time of year sea foam is where its meant to be, not in ya petrol tank. No wonder you lot get carb problems 'n rusty tanks.

 

Mine is still awake also. Reached the mid-70's this week-end and went on a 250 mi. RT. My furthest ever. Trouble with warm temps here in KS in Nov. is that it's warm because the wind is coming in from the south at a very brisk clip. The wind was crazy!

 

I was about to, then one of my friends told me to wear an extra pair of long underwear and "stop being a p****."

 

I've been neglecting my bike lately due to a hectic work schedule, a trip through Europe and the sharply cold wind here north of the border. BUT, as luck would have it, we've had late April temperatures over the past few days and I made sure to give my baby the riding she deserves. I put her to bed tonight with full intentions of one last ride before the snow to burn off the end of my tank (only 1/4) before I fill her with stabilizer and cover her up for the long cold winter.

 

Like the Hound I have spent the last 3 weeks topping her off with seafoam... Time to go buy another can

 

My girl is still up and running, ride her pretty much daily untill there is sand or snow on the roads

 

I fixed my missing muffler to squeeze out a week or two of riding before the ice comes. Looks like I may have a wet ride home.

 

was out riding yesterday, great day out here. then while passing a car my throttle cable broke. Cant get a new one here , Yamaha says could be a month or 6 months they have no idea. So pm'd chacal and will get it from him. Oh well my first year of riding lasted longer than i thought it would, usally have snow by now in winterpeg.

 

Here we don't put them away. We just don't ride as often. Sunday was one of those chamber of commerce days that would have been a sin not to ride on. 72 degrees and sunny. Humidity about 30 percent. Sorry for you guys in the snow belt but that's why I moved south.

 

I put mine in its winter bed a couple of weeks ago, but had to pull it out and go for a 80 mile ride this afternoon. It's supposed to snow tomorrow.

It's going to be a long winter.

Mid 60's this coming weekend. At this rate I'll be riding on Thanksgiving

 

I've still got it out gonna ride it for a few more weeks before breaking it down to repair and paint, its still in the 40-50's here so thats acceptable riding weather to me. Won't do much else in that temp range but I will ride lol

 

Here it's riding weather all year round.

Summer approaching fast - 05h30 and the temp is 20C already with a high expected of 31C.

 

You and me both. :mrgreen:

 

As soon as this Noreaster passes I'll be riding again. 75 yesterday and sunny as ll get out. I had the pleasure of having the day off and took the opportunity to ride all. day. long. I love being a motorcyclist
-Chris

 

Just out again today. Beautiful day for a ride.

 

I just rode today witha 38 degree and rain weather. It was fun using my new rain gear in this crappy weather in Seattle!

 

I am still riding the old 550. I will ride it until I see snow, ice, or sand. Have already seen the frost. The old bike just starts up every morning for more. :lol:

Looks like one more week on Minnesota weather to ride in.

I am taking the bike out in Minnesota tommorrow. Next week it is 17 degree mornings. We had a couple of nice days last week and I saw a couple more bikes. Other than that I feel like I am the last of riding in MN.

 

Well another nice day for riding here in Montreal Quebec, +- 58f. Thank you Iindian summer

 

I had put mine to bed last week, but today was 70 and sunny so I got it back out. Burned that first dose of fuel stabilizer, but it was worth it.

 

Just got done putting mine back to bed. Just couldn't resist the 55+ degree F day last Wednesday.
