Not since Saturday. It's been raining since then and the temperature dropped quite a bit. If the rain will stop, it should warm up a bit.

I took mine out for the last time this evening ... it's about 10°C (50°F) right now, but they are predicting that it'll drop to near freezing with lots of rain in the next few days.

The ride tonight was fun, except that it was pitch black at times, even with the high beam turned on.

I was wearing my leathers (pants) and a all-weather (waterproof) jacket with a liner, plus a good pair of all-weather gloves. My fingers were a bit 'cool' but not freezing cold.

I took her out tonight, filled the tank and added some stabilizer, then went over and cleaned her with the high-pressure hose. Then I rode home and put her in the garage. Tomorrow, when everything has cooled off, I'll polish the chrome, clean and grease the chain, pull the battery and put her in the corner to sleep until spring.

Haha! The next six months or so are the BEST time to ride here in Florida! The rainy season is coming to an end and the temps are coming down to the 75-85 range. No such thing as winterizing a bike around here!

 

[prekarious1]

Still getting plenty of miles here. Then again I do ride year round Was about 81 today but supposed to rain tomorrow.

now this might sound stupd but im a 1st time rider this year, what should i do to "winterize" my bike. ill be storeing it in a shed, under a tarp, but what should i do to prepare the bike for the winter of NO RIDING. (damn floridians, if you could only see me shaking my fist with fury at you floridians) haha

Still riding in Seattle. If the weather holds for the weekend heading around Hood Canal, should be a 4 or 5 hour ride.

 

[LayinLo]

Hey even the shrooms are still growing.... :lol:

 

[Nexus242]

it's good to be in Florida.

 

[Gixxerdale]

And the weather in SoCal is still nice too! :twisted:

4:40 pm and hot......I better go open some windows! Don't want it to be hot all night! :lol:

 

[Va bene]

I'm in Pennsylvania and still riding. Sunday it was unseasonable warm -- 70 degrees, but this week it is back to 40-60 degrees. I went out on Monday. Not too bad if you are all bundled up.

 

[wsharp]

It was sunny and see-forever clear here today and mid - 60's. Tomorrow it will be warming up to the upper 60's.

Yes, I rode all day today between breakfast and visiting clients, then voting and having a late lunch at the end of a 20 mile twisty road on a ranch. Man, what a great, glorious day. 8)

My bike is my only transportation so I ride all year round.

Well since you didn't fill in the location on your profile and didn't stated where you live in the post I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for you or not.

 

[GIXXER-Mike]

Been ridin' every chance I get :mrgreen: ! Hadn't posted much on the forum for the past few weeks but I'm still peepin' in.

 

[Trapper]

Rode to work yesterday in 37.5 F. Raining quite hard today so I can't chance coming out of work tonight with 4 or 5 inches of snow, so my wife is coming home on her lunch to drive me. I'll keep riding as long as I can

 

[axel_2078]

It's been raining here since Saturday night, and that has caused the temperature to drop quite a bit, so I haven't ridden since Saturday.
