Put the bike to bed today

**cnc** · 11-16-2011, 08:23 PM

The weather here is still unseasonably warm here but that is about to change, so I took my last short ride and then prepped the Nomad for storage. Anybody else in the east still riding?

Norm, you could have sent it to me and I would have made it a snowbird bike for you...just trying to help :)

Continue to ride here in the southeast.

Now why didn't I think of that?, I'll just come with it.

I plan on getting a ride in on Sunday

landman · 11-16-2011, 10:59 PM

my bike takes short naps but never goes to sleep for long.

I put ours on life support Tuesday.
Gene, he said anybody in the east. I think he ment NORTHEAST, you know, where we can't ride year round.

When it comes to winter riding the SOUTHEAST don't count.

A ride planed for Sunday its going to 10 c wooo hoooo! Like TC said I put mine on life support not really put away. If all goes well we are planning a few rides during the winter!

This is on a Canada site, but I usually call it quits before Nov. but last year I missed out on some good days. So this year I'm going to wait and see whats coming each day. I've almost put it away 2-3 times this year, and then the weather man says there's another good day coming. ??? Bad weather will be here at some point.

TC I did mean East because we are on the Eastern Canada board. And yes I was thinking more of where we can't ride year round. I have no problem with others who reply the way Coacha, Gene and Landman did. It's the real sarcastic posts about riding year round that put a thread like this off in the ditch. You Know " Yeah winter is a b*tch, I might have to put a sweater over my T shirt to ride" type of comments.

this is the eastern Canada board so have to play by their rules

Sure, come on down. We have something called hockey in Tampa...sometimes it looks like what I used to see on CBC on Hockey Night in Canada but sometimes not so much.

Norm, it looks like Sunday may be a nice day here in New Brunswick with temps around 8 or 9 celcius. My bike is on life support in the bosses heated garage but I can get it out pretty quick. Was going to go yesterday when it was 13 celcius out but time didn't permit. It sucks that is dark now by 5 PM. Too many deer and moose on the roads around here to be riding after dark.
