Sad day...

[VStarRider]

I fancy myself an amateur meteorologist and can tell you with decent certainty that winter will be starting late this year east of the Mississippi...so hold off on winterizing the bike. We will get cold (average) late November, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a handful of days in the 50s and 60s in December...

...Out west...different story.

That's what I'm banking on.

bob109,

Where do you stay in Florida as a snow bird?

I have a nice place in Panama City Beach, Florida you might want to consider.

I'm tucked into a nice RV Park in North Central Florida (Orange Lake)! With a 9 hole golf course in the park and adjacent 2700 acre lake it's hard to beat! A few pics of my accommodations is attached

What about in January?

I ride 12 months out of the year. Haven't missed a month since 2011. If I can get 40 plus and some sunshine I'm good for at least a short ride with a set of chaps , JR winter coat , Danner insulated boots and heated gloves. I put on a balaclava under the Neotec and I'm good.

Took my last ride of a very short season three weeks ago! Snow on the hills, and the roads were salted once already. Roll on 2016...

Once they sand the roads, I'm done. Even the day I got hit last year in April, I had to go through sand at the end of an off ramp. My season ended a half mile up the road.

Not sure I would buy a bike if I could only ride it 8-9 months out of the year...just sayin....

So then probably 50 to 60% of the motorcycle owners in the US shouldn't buy bikes? That's ludicrous. 9 months of pleasure don't sound too bad to most of us. Its kinda like that reverse gear thing. If you live in an area where there is only 8or 9 months riding , you don't know there is anything else. Besides , there has to be time for mods.
