I hate winter!
 
So there is a horrible thing in my future.

Is it the knowledge that someday I will have to winterize the bike?

NO

Is it that its getting cold and down into the low 30s?

NOPE

They have forecasted actual snow fall this week. Which will bring salt on the roads. Which will conclude my riding season.

How do you make the best of it?

Ride one last day, is how!

Yes that is frost all over the SS

It was about 25* on my way to work this morning

Added seafoam and topped off the gas on the way home. Did the same for the wife's nightster. Then did a complete service on the Ultra, wife's will be done at dealer (always do the first one at the dealer). Clean both bikes, and polish/wax mine. 8hrs later we are winterized.

Poor baby.

We got 3 inches of snow last night, it's currently 12 fucking degrees out, with 35mph winds. And I rode last Tuesday for the last time this year.

And don't give me no sob story about how I don't know what snow is here in KS. I grew up in A2. :)

My condolances on the onset of winter. Yes, it sucks.

Arizona got hit with a snow storm that would have made Apoc jealous two days ago.

Only rain in LI/NYC but I went north to work the side job today and theres a few inches down on the roads up here.

I may hold out a lil longer with the buell to try to get out and get some more miles in so I can do the break in oil change. Then prolly put it up foir the winter.

I bought 2 new bat tenders and jus tneed to get some stabil or seafoam.

We seem to get iced over more than snow covered. Normally stays warm enough during the day it only freezing rain/sleets and then it all freezes into a nice sheet at night.

15 inches of wet crappy snow last night. bogged down the snowblower and broke my scraper for the Jeep. I hate winter, I used to snowmobile but we don't get enough snow to make that feasible anymore.
Time for house remodeling season I guess. yeah the bike is tucked away for a few months.

I'm not saying we have the worst winter here. I'm just saying its sad... riding hibernation has started for me.

About 4 hrs after I stopped riding. While I was in the garage working... it started to snow and we had an inch or two on the ground.

No shit. House remodeling was my gimick last hibernation. This year, hopefully just some wall repair and painting.
