I rode for about a half hour at the beginning of the week. 40* is my threshold, and it was only 15* this morning here in Utah. It's just too cold to ride (especially since the sun isn't out when I leave for work).
Calling my insurance this afternoon to drop limits and some coverage while it's in storage for a few months.

Haven't ridden for a couple weeks, primarily due to schedule, was hoping to get one more ride in. Today however it is spitting snow. I fear it is time to move the bikes to the back garage (AKA The Mens Crisis Center) so I can get the truck in the attached garage. The good news is the back garage is heated, so I can still putter around with the bikes all winter. Including fire em up once in a while to hear the music, and go in the house stinking of unburned hydrocarbions.

Rode to work this morning. There's no off-time in AZ. Was about 36F?
I really need to grab some insulated gloves. Those couple months of 20-40 degree mornings are painful.
I'm a little north of you in AZ, so this morning was 19 degrees. Still warms up enough for some fun afternoon rides, though. I've got my backcountry skis all tuned up & ready to go at a moment's notice, which will probably guarantee that this El Nino winter will be dry -- disappointing, but good for riding!
But you can always go visiting someplace warmer -- we spent the Thanksgiving weekend with AM's sister & bro-in-law in Thousand Oaks, California, so I got to give thanks for a fantastic day spent on a borrowed Buell Cyclone, playing in the canyons above Malibu & a stunning, sunset run up the Pacific Coast Highway. That was a good day.

Rode here yesterday. I love winter in S. Florida.
:'( I hate you
I'm still riding in the northeast, NY, but it is cold and the textile+heated gear is out! I'll be riding until the ice forms or salt get's on the roads really badly. Of course i will probably still ride then anyways!

Yeah I camped out up there at Sunset Crater last Wednesday night. Bit chilly. And I drove through again post-dusting on Sunday. Hopefully that bodes well for the coming season.

RESPECT man !
A little bit colder than here in Belgium apparently. Just above zero over here.
It's not the cold or the dark that bothers me but the rain. I really hate the rain but it won't keep me from riding.
The one time the bike stays in is when they start spreading salt because it really messes up the bike.

Yep, I don't ride when they bring out the salt here either.

I am still getting a few days of riding weather here in Long Island. It's in the low 60's today. December 3rd. It makes me wonder about those people who claim there is no global warming.
I keep my bike insured year-round. There are always those January days when the temps get into the 50's and I go for a ride. Biggest issue here is the sand and salt that gets spread on the roads when it snows.

Just started riding here in SoCal. I'll hopefully be riding all through winter...mechanical problems not withstanding. Currently waiting for a full lock set. My ignition switch is faulty and spat out my keys while riding and I'm running out of fuel.

True, lived there for a year. Here in CT, I am afraid to admit, I am probably done for the year. I miss year round riding.
