Done for the season :(

Put the KZ away for the winter today... Sad sad day . Michigan weather sucks haha. I would keep it on the road a little longer but I'm away at school and have no where to keep it there, so put it in my buddies pole barn back home.

Who else is done for the season?

me too have been since halloween

Yupp, put the Z1 down at low speed when I was home for a break two weeks ago. Put it and the 1000 away to be fixed up next spring

Me to.
Put mine away today. Did the usual winterising stuff and put the cover on. I'll check on it in March .

At least there's KZR to keep me sane over the winter

don't beleave in seasons.
never have either, i ride year round rain, shine, snow,
living in England you can't wait for a nice day! :laugh:
now i live here in the states i still do the same..

live long and ride free.

Here in Vancouver we get the odd nice day throughout the year. Our provincial government is the exclusive source for compulsory liability insurance. They sell a collector plate product. That means that if your bike is all original (there are some exceptions allowed) the cost for one million $ of coverage is only about $200. So I'll keep my 76 kz900 insured all year and maybe get to ride it a few times during the winter.

All my bikes have been away for a few weeks already. The batteries stay in the Bimmer and the Harley and could be taken out if I had to. Every thing else has no gas or battery till spring, oh and the snowblower is ready to go also

when i was younger...(read thinner)...and summer and my kz.... and t -shirts and shades ...before the helmet laws .....and my own now refined knowledge of crashing ....
there was real joy to a summer day and a good blast on a z-1...

So i feel the winter too...although i can for now handle the 4 minute ride to work ...so far,but it's pretty cold at 65 mph.... and yet when the summer days come back...i still don't enjoy the summer rides as i once did....as i think i should still.....back then.... with young dumb friends and the too fast 20 mile rides to the inlands and 100 degrees, and hidden diving cliffs over secret swimming holes .....racing blind into canyons echoing off rock walls....crossing creeks and dirt roads ..away...into redwoods and shadows and out again into wheat bordered straights......after a few beers and a big joint with my cronies.......
I still ride in summer...i still pretend to go fast...i still pretend to be a rebel....but my fangs are worn dull...and tires near new...even after a ride....
And so it will be again next warm season......i kid myself that by buying a zx10r ...i again will be able to throw it into those blind canyons ,and pin it over cresting roads into the blue.... but i know i won't ...ever....like before.....ah.... winter...makes us all faster....

Dude,
That's poetry Monterey style!

Well said.

i'm from Mi too. i rode twice last week, guess I'm a little crazy but i try to take advantage any time i can.

i usually never put my bike "away".

This coming week don't look to good though:(

took a ride today and looking at the weather, probably the last for a while.....but ya never know here in RI...i remember riding my first 1000 LTD in jan back in '98...it was like 52 degrees.....the only positive thing about winter as far as riding is that you dont feel so bad when you have the bike apart for maintenance or upgrades....if you cant ride, wrench.....

Yeah I would keep it out if I was going to school at home, but I didn't want it to sit outside at Grand Valley... Maybe it will be nice a weekend or two when I'm home and I'll get it out for a day or two... But I doubt it haha
