...and did the usual.  Every minute sucked!  No riding till spring - UGH!  I'm gonna miss it     One question though - should I take the tires off and keep them inside or just leave them on the bike with no weight on them?  I have the bike on the center stand with the front supported so there's no weight on the front or rear.

I have always left mine on with no problem...you should be fine.

I was just wondering if it would be better for the tires since we get minus 40 degree weather    during the winter.

Oh yeah, it was about 2 degrees yesterday and I still saw a couple of bikers on the road.  Now that's hardcore. (Oops, by 2 degrees I mean celcius which is about 34 fahrenheit)

Balls of steel!

34 degrees, why that that's not even freezing.   Anthing above 24 degrees is ok for me.  Can do about 1 1/2 hours before my, you know what, start to freeze.   If it's too cold for too long I'll go out even if it's below 20 degrees.  I also have a V-Strom 650 this year so I should be able to ride this winter in luxury.

Eh, I dunno what y'all are complaining about.  last year I did lots of rides at <20 degrees F, the longest being about 130 miles or so through a fogbank, 8 degrees outside.

I do have to admit that it was a little chilly, but not too bad.  that was before I installed my heated grips, which help.  when I got to my destination, I had about 1/8" thick coat of ice along the front of my bike, but the roads were dry, so traction wasn't a problem.

Good Lord, minus 40 Humans should not live there. Of course, some people faint at 100 degrees here in Az, but I still like it. :mrgreen: Bring on summer.
