Riding season is here!!!
Off season mileage: From the full tank when parked in Mid-October to a few days ago. 199.2kms on 12.07L - 6.0L/100kms or 39.2mpg. Not bad for a few city rides and a bi-monthly complete warm up and ride around the parkade!
Anyone care for a swim?
Or maybe a little ice fishing?

Same here. It'll probably be another month before the snow is all gone.

I will ride if the temp is above 40 and no snow nor ice on the roads. I would go if it was colder but my only cold weather gear is a hoodie, my leather jacket, and 2 pairs of thick pants, and fingered gloves (I go fingerless in warm weather). In the last 10 months, the only time I didn't ride was from late Jan to early march because of the bitter cold (most of my riding is between 8pm and noon) and threats of snow/rain.

There's no such thing as "riding season" back here. That's the reason why dirt-bikes are made |

I actually like more to ride motorcycles in cold weather (not exactly freezing) than in the summer.
