    The only reason to not ride when the temperature drops below 0, is if there are bad conditions like snow and ice. If I was to not ride when the temperature gets close to or below 0, I would loose 30-45 days of my already short riding season. I just gear up and enjoy as much time on my bike as possible. We all can't live in tropical areas because it would just be to crowded there then.
    So true. I may have to ride in a few hours, even though it's 22 degrees f with wind chill (I know that doesn't impress you Canadians).

    But I'm jonesing (six days since my last ride, and that was only 10 miles). So I gotta start her up. And it might damage her to come back before she's warmed up (200 f), so I'll have to ride at least 15 or 20 miles.

    That's the upside of winter - you treasure every ride.

      Not happy about putting the bikes away for winter here either! Hoping it warms up for a few more rides, last year I rode all the way into December but this pre-Thanksgiving cold spell might signal the end of my season. I'll take the heat and dust storms over the snow in the winter here in Utah but you can keep the heat in the summer!
      Naw we can share the summer heat lol.

        Oh azr, I am planning on moving and joining in on the fun weather in your general area. But I need to finnish up work here first before I can let the good times roll. Just need to get the time in to get the money in order to be able to play with all the toys. I hope there will still be some room left.
