So who is putting their bike away for winter?

[nudemetalz]

The V11 Sport is hibernating for the winter.
However, all is not lost,..I am commuting on the Missus's EX-4.

[Str8 Jacket]

Hell NO! Otherwise I will be walking or on public transport.......

[Subike]

Fuck some of the best riding days are in winter,
all those cold cage drivers not wanting to go to the beaches,
means less traffic on some roads
those really clears nights that are fun to ride in,
and the challenge of Ice, snow, and rain.
Almost as much fun as summer, just colder

[Swoop]

Weather is too crap to be bothering with riding it.

While listening to the torrential downpour last night, I was thinking "raincoat over the cordura jacket as well tomorrow!"


So, just another winter of riding!

[Stirts]

or on public transport.......

Que the parody of Another One Bites the Dust ...

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
And another comes on
And another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey
He's gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus

There is some nice winter days, its not all crap.
Nothing beats waking up on a weekend morning and saying, lets get the bikes out.
No plans, just a nice winter day with fuck all else to do.

And trust me, the bike will be out on those "clear" weekend days, just not bothered if I don't go riding because of the weather. Even tho I still make a yearly pilgramage to Cold Kiwi, rain, snow or sun

Just put a new back wheel and tyre on the sidecar and we are off to the Brass in a couple of weeks.

I havent found the box that my winter pants and jacket is in yet, but they can't be far away.

[slofox]

Put it away for winter?

Nah.

Nah.

I forgot, You are the official winter tyre tester, arent you Mr SF?

Yep - sure am.

[Motu]

Yes, the rego is on hold over winter, the bike not so much. It's apart at the moment as I do the bigger jobs I don't do in summer. I still ride to work everyday no matter what the weather - and I don't use wimpy wet or cold weather gear either, I don't even use an engine. Harden the fuck up you motorcycle riders.

[Akzle]

nope nope and nope.
it's my main transport at the moment, but that asides, why the hell not ride?
'twas an interesting ride home last night. thunderstorm and lightening, coupled with me being blind and new tyres.. =S

they reckoned 130km/h wind gusts which i coulda believed... leaning about 30degrees just to keep in a straight line ><

[Gremlin]

Different tyres to summer on the BMW, little bit better in rain, little bit worse in rough stuff... I don't see any adventure in mud.

Hornet doesn't change... oh, I'll probably change the rear a little earlier than if it was summer. Once I start wheel spinning off line the line I know it's time to buy another.

Never put bikes away... They only sit when I'm not around... otherwise I ride year round. BMW has a temp gauge, so you can have fun seeing how cold it gets.
