The thing here is, my bike has been stored since the middle or so of Nov. Has there been days nice enough to ride? Yea there has, BUT the first heavy salt went on the road 2 months ago and they use a crapload of it around here. So for me it's not a matter of temps, no heated gear here either, but if I ride then my bike gets absolutely covered with that fine salt dust. Too much time and too much money invested to ride in that crap.
Now if I had a POS 2nd bike that I didn't have all that much invested in i'd still be riding.
One of many reasons this is my last winter in the north. Come summer I'm NC bound wear you can at least have an oppertunity to ride more than 7-8 months a year.
And just for the record I don't hold any bad feelings for our southern brothers. If they can ride year round more power to them. Ride on and Ride Safe.
