LOL @ winter riding in Cali.

 

Baden, up the hill from Punks Ice Cream on 65.

 

There will be enough nice days here to ride, the biggest problem is all the sand & salt they put on the roads. No fun skittering across san while making a turn.

But I should still be able to get out often enough to keep from having to prep the bike for storage. Supposed to be gorgeous this weekend, I think I'll talk a little ride up through the mountains.

 

i havent winterized my bike yet but i should, it is in my parents garage 45 minutes away from my house so it isnt too likely that i will ride before next spring. i'll probably just have my dad fire it up for me once a week to get the fluids moving and make sure the battery doesnt freeze up on me

 

yeah i rode out to meet some people from work for dinner and didn't leave till like 10:30. it was soooo cold, and I only had 1 pair of pants on, it took 2 hours for my legs to return to a normal temperature.

 

I dropped off my bike at the dealership for winter storage & maintenance. I rode 12.5 miles in 36 degree weather w/35mph winds. At first I thought I was bringing in my bike too early, but after that cold miserable ride I'm sure that I did the right thing.

She's in storage until the latest, March 31. Seems like forever.

They did have a 2004 Honda 599 at the dealership, 4,200 miles. It took all my self control not to start wheelin and dealin.



I've got an itch for either the 599 or 919. While I like my VLX, I'm not sure whether or not I'll stick with the v-twin crusier style bike.

 

yeah I like those a lot ^

My main gripe is that 25 years after my bike was made the efficiency of these is pretty pathetic. My 4dr. civc gets better mpg than the hornet. when you really think about that it is retarded.

 

I really like that 919. That might be my next bike when I'm done with the Bandit.

 

I plan on riding through the winter unless there is snow on the ground. We'll see tho. i may chicken out. wind chill FTL.

 

Make sure you protect everything dude! Also, get a neck gaiter as well!
