Dunno what to call it.
Went to the gym just now, weather was pretty chill and nice. Stars all over the night, realized it'll probably be sunny tmr. Opened my garage, saw my motorcycle, and went *sad face*.
=(
EDIT: Not that I can't ride, just not sure if it's worth it to adjust everything and then find it snowing a day later :@
EDITEDIT: And salt is bad for underneath bike yes?

Covers help! Sometime i don't even see that big grey thing in the corner of my garage.
Salt is bad for under your bike and also bad for traction

Salt is pretty much bad for everywhere on the bike, not just underneath. Aluminum and salt really don't get along. If you do ride with salt on the road, wash it off as soon as you get home.

You sure you live downtown? The brine's on the road...it's just more spread out from all the trafficOriginally Posted by TIBURON
First ride withdrawal was on January 2nd. I'm really tempted to just take the bike for a quick ride, but I don't know how long I'm keeping it and I'd like to avoid rust/washing it after each ride. A cover definitely helps. Or a girlfriend. lol
I just came back from three weeks in South America and seeing the quantity of bikes down there made it even harder. I couldn't find a place to rent one either, so I did the next best thing and got a scooter. Screw you winter. Screw. You.
It's the off-season so there's great deals on stuff... found a great used set of leathers last week. Only makes it harder!
After finding the leathers, and going to the show, and watching Closer to the Edge... gotta calm myself down and remind myself there's three months until steady riding season.
Definitely looking forward.
I also look at mine everyday, get on it and ride it

I put mine in the house this winter. Bit of a mistake. Now I have to see it every day all shined up, calling my name....
Usually excited to 'board, but if it's not snowing, then bring on spring!!!
I don't get it, why didn't you guys ride this weekend ? I rode about 120km on Saturday afternoon and another 1 hour or so on Sunday afternoon.

I have some winter work to do on mine... and I'm not that hardy.
there was over a hundred bikes at the show in the parking lots
what salt damage?
Busa did 8 years never stored...kept riding...salt never did any damage even to rad!!!
sold it and the new rider keeps on riding as well....only small bit of rust was on the center stand
gsxr has done 5 years......same.....no rust...not even the stone chips are rusty
KEEP RIDING
I ride hard & fast on street and track.....get the right advice @ Riders Choice .......I dive deep with The Dive Academy in Oakville.....come dive with us
I did a few hours of riding this weekend. Keep riding people!
I don't live in New York city, I went skiing on Friday.
Ignorance is curable, Apathy not so much, but I don't care, I'll try anyway.
a little bit of cold weather shrivels up the little nutsacks a lot sooner....
saw some scooters out and about when I was walking downtown.. started thinking to myself, "If they can do it, so should I"
this is torturous
I went skiing on Fri as well, and saw a white BMW (R1200 (?)) in downtown Collingwood.
