How do you snowy weather peeps do it?!

[Mrs. Colleen]

I have not ridden my bike for 3-4 weeks and I am going crazy! I am getting my seat re-foamed and re-covered and every time I see a bike go by I want to cry because I cannot ride mine!

So how do you all do it?! How long do you typically have to store your bike?

BTW - not trying to make this a bragging thread...just asking how you don't go crazy!

:beers:

[pickle.of.doom]

How long do you typically have to store your bike?


~ 5 months, give or take a month


So how do you all do it?!

[ZukLady]

Well, i dont have a bike anymore, but IF i did, it would be stored from oct. til april or may...it has to be 60 and up for me to go out.
And as far as keeping busy...working, drinking, sleeping is pretty much what i do.

Yeah that's how I roll. Take a stupid expensive bike and put enough money into it to buy 2 more normal bikes.

[Cutty72]

Well.. parked it on Nov 1... hope to be back riding it by Mar 15...
More realistic is April 15... :lol:

I play darts, drink, and fuck... it's a good pastime :hug:

[dscort]

if im not working on my bikes or my truck, i always have the quads to ride in the snow. that helps alot, gets some of the riding jidders out of the system

Really, it sucks. There is no way around it.

Hellova project!! Bravo!

I moved to Texas in 2002 from Minnesota... there is no way in hell I'd move back. I'd rather sweat than freeze anyday. Though, now I'm a wuss and don't like weather under 60.

Sitting on your bike and going, "vroom vroom vroom" doesn't count as riding.

I get out anytime I really get the itch or its above freezing.. :dthumb:

[vabarber2]

Its not easy!! Thats why i usualy sell my bike in the fall and buy a new (to me) one in the spring just so i wont be tempted all winter to ride when i know i shouldnt! I'd love to live in cali or fla! where I could ride all year!

[Captain Morgan]

Actually, the winters make it a little easier for me. Because I don't HAVE a bike. Been without one for almost 3 years now. :panic: If you think i'm jonesing for a bike now, just imagine what it would be like if I lived in a warm location year round.

:iagree: only the gasman! Looking good though gm!

[lauralynne]

3 jobs, 2 kids....and some time off to recoup the budget from last race season and get ready for NEXT race season. Actually, I've been on the dirtbike a few times this winter (riding with a high of 26 is, admittedly, focked up)

[Smittie61984]

I pleasure myself, weap, then repeat.

Actually for me I bought a project bike in October. Which was months away from being able to go on the street. Then suddenly all my friends got bikes(Infact as of now 12 of them got bikes from no bikes.). But during that time in awesome weather. Even in december. 70degree days with no snow before so clean mountain roads and such. I bet I could count 100 motorcycles in a 20mile stretch of road. Then all my buds were talking about riding and I was looking at my Flying Turd in the garage and stripped naked. So from Early October to early January I had no bike. It was horrible for me.

What sucks now is on Thursday we had 68degree weather. Friday we had some rain in the morning and it evened out to I think 58degrees. By 3am or so it was in the 30s if not the 20s and we had snow flurries that didn't stick to the ground. But becuase there was a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000001% chance of snow Georgia went into panic mode and they graveled and salted all the mountain roads.

So Tommorow will be a high around 57 with a low of 25(tonight). But we'll get to ride some normal roads so I'm grateful for that.

You Yankees have some brass ones I must say. I'd blow my brains out in that weather. Unless I had a snowmobile or took up Skiing. That could make up for it.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

Problem is, in central Indiana, the snow doesn't stay on the ground long enough to ski or snowmobile. It just gets cold. At least I could ski when I lived in Utah. Indiana sucks!
