Well, today I brought my GZ to its winter storage.
End of the riding season for me. No garage or shed---so I opted for a storage offer by a local motorcycle business.
Although we could get a couple more nice riding days.....we could also get snow soon.
We have had a couple of nights already at about 32 degrees F.
And I took a couple of daytime rides at 40 degrees F. With the wind and speed ....Brrr cold for me.
The bike will enjoy heated storage and will not be back till April.
After 40 years of not riding.....I enjoyed getting back in the wind and would have to call this season a huge success!
Going to miss riding during our 5 months of winter.
:(:(:(

Thank goodness that we don't have "riding seasons" here. Luckily the temperature hardly ever drops below 10ºC. and most folks with two wheels use them for primary transport.

You are indeed fortunate, my friend!

Sorry to hear of your woes. I never got a chance to ride this past season and the bike has been parked since I bought it last February. Maybe next year if things work out with Lynda's health issues. Until then I have PMS(parked motorcycle syndrome). We can all still day dream about riding till spring arrives.

Yeah...Buffalo got something 7 feet!!!!!
Wed. night we are supposed to get 3" to 8".....sounds like nothing compared to Buffalo...
But my riding season is long over.
Waiting for spring....(April or May).

We just get a real wet winter. Had to drive into Vancouver today and was wishing for pontoons on the Ranger. I don't mind the rain but the ground is saturated and we have small lakes all over the place.
One good thing is the streets are clean and your vehicle never gets dirty, just wet.

Yup, same with us. We've had torrential rain for the last week.
