Today? No.

Monday the 28th, Yes.
Was 44degF and mostly sunny. So got out for hour and half or so ride.
Was still some salt residue noticable on roadways.... otherwize would have taken the bike with better wind protection and heated grips.
Stopped at a coffee roaster in Spring Lake.

Threw a new battery in the Bandit I just picked up and took it out today. Wow....it's quick and sounds awesome! Might be keeping it....:)

 
It looks nice. Looks like all the expensive upgrades have been done to it already (exhaust system....)
The Bandit, what a inexpensive Sport/Touring motorcycle.

I'm trying to get my older brother back into motorcycling. I'd like for him to ride with me to Colorado. The Bandit would be a perfect motorcycle for him. Buy it, ride it for the summer, then sell it and not loose a penny.
 
Yeah, maybe. I had a Gen1 silver Bandit 12. Loved that bike but it hurt my arms, Even after risers and several different bars
 
7 of us went out for a little ride...it was pretty nippy at only around 4c or 39 degrees...but sunny. We had a nice lunch in Sydney.

Or, you could just let your brother ride one of your 12 or 20 bikes:cool:......
 
After a few days of 5degF and several 15degF and some 25degF, and many days of snowing and blowing and many days of barley seeing the sun .... Saturday afternoon was partly sunny and 35degF... Roads wet from snow melt and some roads still slushy in places (I had been out earlier and noticed which roads to avoid).

Hey! Hey! Seemed like a opportunity for a January Ride.

Biggest problem was slush at end of driveway.

Rode into town. Swung by an overlook to see how far out Lake Michigan froze.
And stopped downtown. Winterfest going on, including volleyball tournment and fire pits for hotdog roasting.

Febuary is usally the harder month to find occassion for a ride.
 
So, what do you winter riders do with the salt on the road? I have been itching for a ride, and we have had some nice weather on the Westcoast here (Vancouver) BUT there is brine and salt on the roads. And no rain for weeks to wash it away. And of course, the house water is off... so what are you guys doing to preserve your bikes?

Did a 240km ride yesterday…I wash my bikes after afterwards. Easy. Why is your water shut off in Vancouver?
