aint all that bad if you got good tyres.
There hasn't been a day that I haven't been riding so far this winter.
Maybe you need to moove to the City of Snails - its warmer up here
Otherwise see attached pic...

The 'warmer' doesn't compensate for the ten shades of hell the rest of life up there seems to be....Maybe you need to moove to the City of Snails - its warmer up here

All part of lifes rich tapestry.
Makes no difference to a biker.
Good thing about this weather is it enables one to determine how many bikers there are out there, relative to how many just play on nice fine days.
And, come rain hail, sleet, snow or arctic cold, there's one model of bike that will ALWAYS still be out on the roads, battling through the blizzard. The GN250s. Big props to them.

the colder weather doesn't bother me, but the annoying trend of it being fine during the week and then having it turn to crap just in time for the weekend is somewhat frustrating.

Now THAT`S the way to go, a dirt bike or motard for sliding around on in the rain.
Leave the sportbike in the nice dry garage and get out on the other!
Might have to get me an XR400 or something to get my winter fix...
Let the good times roll

There is a lot of merit with that idea..might have to research that too

It has been a rather pleasant winter. Winter keeps the dickhead noob-filterer's off of the roads, so that improves things immensely.
You are confusing "Latte Land" with Wellytown. At least we don't have all the bloody politicians ruining the place.The 'warmer' doesn't compensate for the ten shades of hell the rest of life up there seems to be....

I count 12 winters so far (with a big break in the middle without a bike). I've hardly missed a day so far at any time of year. And right now we're even in the process of selling the car. Can't say I LOVE the rain but a bike beats a car in any weather. Actually, I've been more likely to substitute car for bike in the hot weather - nearly passed out a couple of times from heat exhaustion.Have a few more winters on bikes then see if you still feel the same way ah

Don't worry the Winter is fading now...
These days the sun rises around 7:30am.... It's nearly the time to wind our clocks.... YES!
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

4am??? Mate even I would have to question the sanity in that lol. I take full advantage of the nice days during the week when the poor 9 - 5rs are all stuck in their offices staring out the window
haha, yea I love having an odd job. I'm a postman, so its 7am till whenever I finish, leaving me free to do what I want.
once you get used to the rain its just as much fun.

Revolution is in the air
Just got back from Lost Angeles. It was in the mid 30's. The air was so thick, you could feel it as you inhaled every breath of the pollution filled air. Went up to Lake Tahoe on the border of California and Nevada. There are forest fires raging and there was soot and ash falling all the time.
I like the warmth, but I'll take this clean air anytime.
Ride, eat, sleep, repeat!
