Its getting cold and dark
« on: September 27, 2007, 02:54:30 PM »

The nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping so, do you wrap the bike in cotton wool now till spring or, are you a "true"(am told only True Bikers ride 365? Rain, Hail and Shine lol) Biker.

For me the 10 will have a winters nap, but will be out on the 6 whenever I can :icon_thumright:

I always keep mine in the garage anyhow  [wall]  it rarely comes out  :crybaby2: :crybaby2:

it'll be insured and taxed so I'll get out now and then but only if the weather is dry and above freezing etc  :icon_thumright:

I'll be riding through winter - always do unless it snows.  Got caught out in the snow a couple of years ago and vowed that if snow is forecast, then the bike stays at home and the car comes out to play.

I try to stay out of the rain and hail. But I like riding in cool weather. When it gets into the 30s, I stay in. But, where I live, there is no need to put it away for the winter. We have pleasant days throughout the year.

Will use mine on the odd  dry days we might get.

 But as soon as the gritters come out it's time for the 10 to go into hibernation

All weathers, day and night.

Got rid of the car so I don't have much choice, it's either my 636 or the mountain bike, the 636 has heated grips so the choice is easy  [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]
