I ride all year, in all kinds of weather. Well unless we are getting one of those 3 inches in one day rains that happen here in Western Washington sometimes. And another factor is that I only live 2 miles from work. So even is its 15 degrees out I can get there without turning into a complete Popsicle. Oh yea and the bike makes a difference too. Personally I wouldn't own something I could only use part of the year.

Yup the coldest it gets in this area is in the 40's. Just put on a sweater your jacket liner and your good to go.

i live close to toronto ontario, i shoveled my way out and rode my old '98 ZX6R. the only month i didn't ride her was february last year. full leathers, sweater, joggin pants 2 pairs of gloves and a headband pulled down to keep the wind off my neck. my parents followed me to my girlfriends hockey game and i was doin wheelies (few burnouts tryin to get her up lol). call me crazy, but i LOVE to ride. my cousin rides a VMAX and he rode to port dover last october and this past april and it snowed ON him both times. i've never been snowed on. dover this summer was OFF THE HOOK!

well, we ride here in socal

Hey but you get to pull out the sleds and have fun in the snow. We can visit the snow but then have to come back to 75 degree weather and ride our bikes[]
