I'm not familiar with this "winterization", just ship it to my address in LA! I'll keep it running and change the oil too! No Charge! :lol:

Thanks everyone for the information this is my first year with my bike and don't want to see anything happening to it over winter.Because winter is coming here fast it is already just about getting down to freezing at nights already. But I hope to ride as long as I can and still go on this site as often as possible. This site is very good it is a place to learn new stuff and to shoot the ****.

NOOOO, it's too soon.

I did not think it ever thawed in Saskabush.
I never did recover from the Storm in Winnipeg Mar.66.
I prefer rain, no need for shovels, just keep a rowboat handy.

Dale I think winter is when it gets cloudy more regularly and rains a couple days? Oh yeah it's when I get to drive two hours to big bear to go snowboarding. :mrgreen:

On a serious note that list is pretty good though.

Winterization? Don't know about you Cali guys, but to me that means breaking out the lined gloves :twisted:

Don't forget to carry a longsleeve shirt in case the T Shirt isn't enough on those real cold days! :twisted:

Also carry rain gear, so the sun will always shine! :mrgreen:

Believe me, I love to ride ... but between mid-November and mid-March, my desire to ride is usually squashed by looking out the window. I won't ride when there is ice or snow on the ground ... or when the temperature is below freezing.

I've ridden in -14°C (7°F) temperatures - I don't need to do that anymore!

No problem! I'll keep riding and post a few SoCal winter ride pics for you! :twisted:

Winter? What is winter?

c50tiger · Aug 18, 2005

That's when the daytime temperatures drop below 65F, isn't it?

Gixxerdale · Aug 18, 2005

It's when it's warm and comfy but the sun goes down to soon! :mrgreen:

Hey! at least we don't have any bugs, when it's below 30 degrees.

Deer maybe, but no damn bugs.
