I see the same as wingboy, nothing in original post viglink in your quote. I thought the viglinks were a GTAM plugin to try to get paul some click revenue? Strange that only you see it. Mayb ABP smoked it for me.

Disabled ABP, no change

New Rider - How do you get through the winter?
- Thread starter DrunkenChewie
- Start date
EDIT:
Disabled ABP, no change
I keep riding if the roads are clear and the temps are above 6 or 8c. Proper gear for the temps, and ride to conditions.
The rest of the time?
I spend it here on GTAM debating with others about:
- How my bike is going to turn into a pile of rust because I dared take it out in the winter before 20 spring rains cleared away every trace of salt within a 20 mile radius.
- How salt dust is apparently equivalent to KY Jelly and will instantly cause me to crash as soon as my wheels touch it.
- How motorcycle engines are somehow special and "not designed to be run in cold weather" and will supposedly damage it.
- How tires have seemingly negative traction at anything below 10c.
- How I'm destroying my bikes resale value because someone may find a spot of rust on it somewhere.
- How I'll never get all the salt off of it because it finds "nooks and crannies" that are apparently equivalent to black holes that can never be found or cleaned.
- How I'm going to fry my electrical system because motorcycle wiring isn't designed for use in winter conditions and any salt that gets liquid on it while I wash the bike will "eat it".
- How it's a good thing (it's not, it's a terrible thing) to start your bike routinely over the winter and let it idle for a few minutes to "recharge the battery and move the oil around"...
Umm.... I'll come back and edit this as I remember more GTAM discussions here from years passed.
Add in a wave thread or an oil thread, and next thing you know it...it's May again! ?

Ride sleds. More fun then street bikes but the weather sucks. If your into bicycles Joyride 150 has an indoor bike park which is a good time.
I wish we had indoor mx in Ontario. There’s a few places in the U.S about 4 hours from the border but I can’t find health insurance to cover myself so I won’t ride down there.

You forgot the battery discussion: tender love vs subzero startup-recharges.

I pleasure myself often, thinking about next year's riding season!
