Season ending
 
Well, today I brought my GZ to its winter storage.
End of the riding season for me. No garage or shed---so I opted for a storage offer by a local motorcycle business.
Although we could get a couple more nice riding days.....we could also get snow soon.
We have had a couple of nights already at about 32 degrees F.
And I took a couple of daytime rides at 40 degrees F. With the wind and speed ....Brrr cold for me.
The bike will enjoy heated storage and will not be back till April.

After 40 years of not riding.....I enjoyed getting back in the wind and would have to call this season a huge success!

Going to miss riding during our 5 months of winter.
:(:(:(

Thank goodness that we don't have "riding seasons" here. Luckily the temperature hardly ever drops below 10ºC. and most folks with two wheels use them for primary transport.

You are indeed fortunate, my friend!

My bike is away for the winter also as of last week, all winterized. Till next riding season.

Sorry to hear of your woes. I never got a chance to ride this past season and the bike has been parked since I bought it last February. Maybe next year if things work out with Lynda's health issues. Until then I have PMS(parked motorcycle syndrome). We can all still day dream about riding till spring arrives.

Took mine out today-unseasonal at 55 degrees but we have already had snow - not much riding time left-it sucks

Have you seen the reports about the snow in New York? Wow!!!!

chromedome195 11-24-2014 03:19 PM

Yeah...Buffalo got something 7 feet!!!!!

Wed. night we are supposed to get 3" to 8".....sounds like nothing compared to Buffalo...
But my riding season is long over.
Waiting for spring....(April or May).
