My season is done now and the bike is in storage. Last 2 track days were this past weekend.

Bike will emerge from hibernation in April.

I'm pretty much done also. Actually thinking about winterizing it this weekend.

I am hoping to squeeze out 2 more months but we will see. I do need a few weeks of bad weather though so I can replace my fork springs and rear shock.

Hey now! I don't have a garage so riding late in the season isn't practical since my bike has to sit outside!

But ya...I'm a huge wimp when it comes to the cold. I have heated grips on all year.

Year round for me. I don't ride with its sleeting or snowing. If you think we turded people drive crazy when the road is dry, you should see them in snow.

10 months out of the year are pretty much no problem. January and February are the coldest months and there are still usually some days in those months to ride as well.

Oh snap!


Since the offer is on the table, you can come and ride the roads near the ocean here, they were iced over this morning. Couple cars left the road. My treat!
