    When does your season end

    Am I the only one that wants to ride until it snows?
    Up here in CT it's starting to get pretty cool, (mid 50's day / 25-35 at night). 95% of the bikes around here are safely tucked away for their winter hibernation.
    I plan I riding until the snow flies and if it should melt and the roads dry, I'll be out again. People think I'm nuts! It's probably because I just love this bike. My hope is to ride at least 100 miles per month right through the winter to say I rode all year long. There have been years here in CT that didn't get much snow at all, so it is possible.

    As long as there is no ice/snow on the road I will ride. This year will be different because I have a bunch of mods to do and I am sending out some body panels to be dipped so not sure with the turnaround time.
    Ride it like you stole it

    12 Month Season

    Snow Birding to Florida for the winter, I have 12 months of riding. As my 6 is my only means of transportation, once my motor home is parked, even the trips to the grocery store are a "cycle ride"

    My season ended in September when I sold the Warrior and the same day had the Harley develop engine issues. Hopefully the Wi., 2014 riding season will see me on a F6B.:

    Like CT, the riding season in Wisconsin ends for most by October. I keep going... if the roads are dry I try to get out for an hour or two as often as I can all winter. Doesn't matter if there is snow on the ground. I do like it to be nearing 40 degrees; if it is less than 32, I'll likely wait for a better day. In the last three years I only missed one month of riding; I do count at least one day of riding as a successful month and some tough months that's all I get.

    Thanks to the heated grips I am still riding in Indiana

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    When I lived in Minnesota I rode anytime the roads where clear of ice and snow and the temp was at least 12 degrees F . I had a heated gargage and washed a lot of salt off my bikes. (People thought I was nuts too, and they were probably right)

    In NC/SC for the last 17 years I ride year round but it still gets cold (3 days this week on the way to work it was in the low 20's) but you just have to dress for it. We get a little snow or ice from time to time and if it sticks to the road surface I will either go into work a little late or share a ride with someone who has a car.
