I'm riding everyday. I found some great thermals by Under Armor, 3.0 Base layer. As a brother you know we hate cold, but I'm riding like a man possessed. :People in town think I'm crazy, but I'm having the time of my life.All I can say is " RIDE ON "

not that I am aware of , you should wash it or ride in the rain after riding all winter but it has not had parts fall off or anything. I am sure it harder on it than not riding it but that's what I do, test things.

Ryding everyday, including through the winter here, I've noticed the sand and salt on the roads in these parts get into the smallest of places and wear things quicker. Even with my religion weekly wash down and rust-check application I've had parts wear quicker - rear sprocket and belt, brake pedal pivot, front A-Arm (lower) bushings and some secondary bolts that I've replaced, parking brake cable.

To add..., the extra time for cleaning, care and replacement of parts year-round riding takes involves, it is still worth it . imho.

Temp 35 and up
Rode about 80 miles yesterday with the temps from 35-44 degrees. Figured the wind chill was about 16 degrees at 70 mph, but stayed warm with heated gear. Did not see any other bikes out though.

I have been ryding almost every day since I got the RT-S on July 30, 2011, only snow, ice or rain will stop me from ryding. So far we only had rain here at the Jersey Shore. It has been very cold in the morning and evening comutes to and from work this past week, but a couple of layers of clothing has worked well so far (Waiting on a thermo suit to arrive).

Twelve degrees this morning, but no snow, so off I went to get a new tire on the rear. Still love to ride this thing in the winter. I know there's salt on the road, but last time I checked, washing still gets it off.

Wow, that's a lot of wear! How many miles do you have on your Spyder? I have a little over 16,000, am riding my second winter, and haven't had anything replaced except for the rear tire. Had it serviced this morning, and every thing still looks nominal. When can I expect to need another sprocket?
