Yup, I tossed the cover on mine when I got home tonight, fully expecting she won't be coming out again until March. :(
 
I'm riding tomorrow morning at 5am, will see if the cold actually lingers.

-10 with windchill on dry conditions should be alright
 
A week of this and black ice becomes a real risk. We have to move house in Feb so a good reason now to organize all the motorcycle gear. Fortunately I just filled the the tank the battery is fresh.

I'm being optimistic that we get that super short blast of warm days in March we've had the last few years - just enough to kick off the dust then winter comes back with a vengeance!

Fine ride in this morning. Saw one other bike going north on Dufferin near the 401. A little cool on the finger tips, even with liner gloves and the grips turned up to 3. They did put some brine down last night, but it was pretty much dried so not an issue. With highs in the minuses for the next 2 weeks, the ride decisions will be one morning at a time.

Time to through the studded tires on the dirt bike and wait for the lakes to freeze!
 
Was out for 3 hr on Monday, temp about 4 degrees up here on the shores of Georgian Bay. Buddy from Mississauga called today to go riding with him but I had to say no because we were supposed to get snow squalls. Squalls didn't happen, also I don't ride below freezing temps, afraid of hitting black ice. I never put the bike away because in most years I get to ride it every month.
 
Watching the snow fall, now I am thinking who out there is still riding putting us all to shame??? :o

I knew I should have took a run yesterday with that sun out....
 
I will be putting mine away shortly, likely this weekend. I always make sure she is easily accessible just in case we get a nice day. :)

get over the salt crap .....washing it would make it worse and really modern motorcycles are not subject to salt corrosion.
stop scaring people their motorcycle will fall to pieces
It's not a boat.

Salt might be slippery but crystal salt on the bike does squat .....washing it with a pressure hose just drives it into electrics that might be sensitive
