Sounds like southwest Kansas as well. I don't really ever park mine for the winter. They may not get ridden for an extended period of time, but they are ready to go if I want to ride.RonKZ650 wrote: I never really understood putting a motorcycle away for weather. I won't ride on ice obviously, but there can be 65 degree days or better even in the dead of winter here in Denver, so why not enjoy? I had the luck of only a 3 mile commute to work for 35yrs and if wasn't snowing I rode to work. Only enjoyment I got in that miserable 35yrs. Hot weather I never minded, and still don't. Can be 100 degrees or more, I'm happy to ride. Very rare to go an entire week without rideable weather in Denver.

That must explain my question of why I hardly ever saw another motorcycle down in Mississippi, Alabama ect in summer. I thought, who in this world would not ride in this glorious hot weather? All I could think was bogus insurance crap, government crap. Now I know the real deal. Some don't like hot. I like it.Zephyrrider wrote: All year - dont like riding in the middle of a stinkin hot summer though.

We often get a thaw between mid December and the first week in January so I ride a bit then if they haven't spread too much gravel due to the early winter snow. I actually prefer to ride with the temps between 40 to 70F. One can always put on more warm clothes. If you are not willing to ride in the rain, you shouldn't own a motorcycle in the Northwest.
Same goes for me here in Post Falls.
