    I ride every chance that I get. Too bad it's not the Kat still getting her ready, but I ride the kawasaki every chance I can.

        I have been riding my bro-in-laws. I have the cdi pulled on mine. I am thinking about going to get a sand blaster and doing a new paint job, but the humidty level has been so damn high lately.

          It's a rare day when I am not on a bike year round.

              I let the Kat rest through winter, too much work involved to keep it clean (especially the polished rims)
              But my gf lets me ride her CBF1000, so I can and will (as allways) ride through winter

                    I generally keep the bike ready year round. Took it in to work today (mid-20s in central New Jersey). I don't mind the cold so much as the fact that I really have to watch out for the patches of ice lurking around the next corner.

                    BTW, it just started to snow here.

                      Riding all year here

                      I'm riding all year here in Mobile too. If I'm not it's because I have other responsibilities to tend to. For the most part the weather here is like a woman. You wake up in the morning with her and you see what you got. She's either hot or cold!
                      Peace out!

                          This Friday - 50 degrees; Saturday 56; Sunday 62.

                          Oh, well... if this keeps up, guess I'll tear the Kat down in February...

                            Say Black Kat- I don't live very far from ya, and my Kat runs every weekday to work when it's not raining. Mon. morning the 8th it was 26, a little chillie around my ankels and the opening of my balaclava, but overall comfortable. It mostly sits on the week-ends, due to having other busy things to do.
                            Know what ya mean....the colder it gets, the more alone you become out on the roads. I'm only seeing a few other bikes out there commuting in the morning, and useally are crusers...the sport bike riders must be caging it.
                            I ride 40 miles one way to work, and still enjoy the adventure even when its cold. So as far far as "putting it away" until spring, not this Kat! Hope to see ya on the road.
                            It's not speed that kills, it's the deceleration!

                                She's my everyday commuter.....

                                I give her a break on most weekends.
