Limited days
I'm not ready to give up on riding for the season yet. I am hoping for a few more rides, but it hit home that the days are numbered when my daughter asked if I could change over her tires today.
How about you, are you going to ride till the white stuff flies?

Cindy and I plan to ride as long as the road salt is not started.
Riding Sunday as it is supposed to be a high of 50 F. (edit; now saying 47F) Will try out the gloves Larry recommended from Bear Wallow Gloves.

Probably will get in a few more rides as long as the road to the highway isn't wet (gravel road).

The white stuff has already hit here. That's not to say that our riding season is over. Here in Calgary we could get a Chinook, temperatures go way up and roads are dry and we're able to go ridin' again. Some years I've rode right up until the end of November!
I have the bike in at the dealer for a warranty repair and had planned to bring it home yesterday as it had warmed up enough and the streets had dried off. But by the time I had finished work it was starting to storm again.

Weve had rain here every day this week, I'm hoping to still use the bike the next few weeks if I can.

Hi :)
If the rain can stop, I will take out the bike. I had to build another shed to park the wing. Man, new trailer, new shed... Like Sly said, got to get at least a couple of rides in before hibernation!

No Guy you park a wing in a hanger, not a shed.

It was great riding in to work this morning, I had to pay extra attention not to miss the exit on the freeway.
