I have a slightly guilty conscience because I get to ride nearly any day of the year, while others have "riding seasons".
    same here Zuma, year round in FL....It rarely gets below 40 degree's here....May hit a week or 2 in the low 30's at night but only for a week or so...
    I just throw a hoodie on under the leather jacket, and leather over pants, and get to it son!!!

      the kat may be the gixxer's retarded cousin, but she's a hefty broad... and i do loves me some girth between my thighs.

        I want those tires too! Do they fabricated it themselves? Or it's a manufactured product?

                  I ride all Winter as long as there is no snow on the roads. The ZX-14 in the snow would be a handful to say the least. Studded tires are illegal here Michigan otherwise I would probably do it.

                  If I had an Dual sport bike I would ride it in the snow all the time.

                      I saw the frost on the roofs around me this morning... I'm hoping to get out for a while this afternoon after the sun warms things up... have to take advantage of the last few days.

                            When i had my little cruiser it had tubed tires the bes thing i found was removing the tube and tire taking roofing nails sticking them through the tire and cutting them off at short even lengths and instaling it back together would not advise highway speeds the journey from the house to work was 3.5 miles each way but in connecicut it worked well
                            Gravity works 100% of the time.

                              ride during the winter time only if the snowflakes are turning into slush but if the ground is like more then a few inches of snow I would rather just drive my truck.

                                It tried snowing here today. I rode the bike into the shop to get her ready for storage.
                                Can't blame me for something I don't remember.
