For those that have a winter, that is.
I ATV and play video games. How 'bout you?

If the roads are dry and the Sun is out, I suit up w/ electric jacket liner,Motoport jacket, good gloves and just go riding. Can't see going through MI winters w/o at least one ride every couple weeks. Too long till spring...

Here in central Pa. I pull my bike in my basement (daylight that is) and strip her down to the frame. I clean and inspect everything and do any mods or upgrades I want. Put her back together for the spring.

Put on the jacket, liner, gloves, thermals, etc. and ride. We might get a week or two where riding just isn't possible, but generally there are plenty of days that are cold and dry with bare pavement.

Just finishing a DIY electric jacket liner made from some wire and my joe rocket rain liner. I'll post details and pics when done.

I once rode an hour on the freeway when it was 17 degrees. That was cold! Couldn't feel ANY heat from the engine whatsoever at 80mph. Any longer wouldn't work - my hands were starting to go numb. Now I'll have the electric liner and heated grips

Winter is livable in NC. Just pile on some layers and go for a chilly ride.



That is one seriously awesome gaming setup. Is that GT4 on the screen?

Winter? What's that? Oh yeah, that's when I have to put on my sweatshirt to go outside. : )

Good to hear some reports from you NC riders. We'll be moving there in March, and was stressing about not being able to ride during the winter.

Awesome sim-racer seat! I'll need to build one of those since that's how I deal with winter, summer, spring and autumn.

MadSx - You might even consider renting quads. They are street legal and can take you places where the Hog just ain't gonna go.
