This could be fun. Our days are numbered here for riding in New England but, let's see who is the last man or woman out riding this season. The first snowstorm will be the finish line. :D

Warmed up a bit so I got in a lunch ride today. :thumbup: Pics if you got em' ;)

I am not riding until spring because my spyder is in for it's winter's nap.( put it up on Oct. 15th) it is hooked up on a battery tender. Winters are rough/ and tough in Vermont also.

Also, I am having some down time( getting caught up on other things, and thinking of what trips I want to take next year.) I am ok. It is raining/ temp is 43 degrees. You don't know what the weather is going to be like at this time of the year.

Plus the holidays are right around the corner, spending time with family friends, still working, and etc. Deanna

Lol.. Spyd3r, f3-s. Winters are tough here in NH, but when I can't ride my Spyder , I can usually jump on my Polaris snowmobile and go riding from the house onto great trails. Still have lots of years left in me for that, but I do get it about living in warm climates.... Some day I will ... travel safely my friend.

A reprieve of sorts from the frozen North.

We went from a cold snap (0 degrees and a bit colder) to a warming trend. 40's and 50's for the last 4 days or so. Going to remain in the mid 30's for the next week or snow.

The snow has mostly melted--but rural roads like mine--are ice covered. Same mode as early spring. Two and a half blocks away are drivable roads--glare ice preventing me from getting to them. :yikes:

I still may ride, but am planning to put the RT up for the winter soon. We did get hit with some light snow activity late on Tuesday in northern VT. The trucks were out salting some of the roads that had iced over. Once that starts I don't like taking the spyder out. I'm not disappointed though. I have something new waiting for me from BRP in a crate at my dealer! More to come, so stay tunned!:yes:

Well, I decided to finally put the RT to rest for the winter. Yesterday I washed and polished both the Spyder and the RT622 trailer. Today I rearranged the garage to store them both in there place. It's lightly snowing outside as I write this message, so I think it was time to park the Spyder. For me, the snowmobiling season is just around the corner. I have that to enjoy in the winter, so I don't ever get bored.

Either way, I need to stop at Mohawk and check them out. There is a nice back road ride, and we can also stop at the deli on rt 7 on the way. That's generally a big bike place, there may be some late season stragglers there.

Was 25 degrees this morning when we rolled out for a toy run in the next county over. dropped the toys off, and headed for a Veterans Gold Star Family Memorial dedication and unveiling in Fairmont WV. A Medal of Honor recipient Marine that fought on Iwo Jima was the key speaker. it was a somber experience. For those who do not know what a Gold Star Family is, they are the families of fallen military. Anywho, at 25 degrees and 55 mph the heated hand grips front and rear sure came in handy for us. never even got chilled.

No... I would have been this past weekend, but I had my gallbladder removed Friday, and I'm still a bit tender from the surgery!! I never thought scheduling surgery for December 4th would impact my riding schedule. :sour:

My fiance changed my rear tire yesterday and was nice enough to take it out for a spin to check it today though... It's running great he tells me. ;)

ANY ride this time of year is sweet! :yes::ohyea::yes:
Last year; I was shut down in Mid-November.I agree. Some might even say that demonstrates that there are indeed certain benefits to global warming. ;)

After spending the past 3 months in Texas and Mississippi, missing my Spyder in those warm states, I got to take it out of winter storage today. (That consisted of simply unconnecting the Battery Tender and checking the tire pressures with the Fobo app on my cell phone). I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. :thumbup:

I was able to get in 104 miles on Fri. and 73 on Sat. between chores. I usually ride until the salt hits the roads and then I'm done.
Picked up my 014 ST limited April 16th. and now have 11,235 miles on the ticker. Just took my rear tire off and for a new one, the rear is toast.
Stay safe out there.

I was bitching and complaining about getting only 10k well it was spent at around 10k. Then today reading what other people got (much less) I was shocked. The ST Limited is less weight than an RT as you know but I was still shocked.
I do very little highway and almost all back roads in NE. so maybe less if much highway riding is done.
I have to bring it to the dealer down the road to get it balanced because it won't go on my buddies machine.http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2140/4572612/24641261/411969584.jpg

A riding partner of ours now has over 14000 miles on the Kenda, she has an RS. Don't get me wrong, it is junk and needs to be replaced. But she never thought they would still be riding this time of year. Hers is a lot more worn out than the you show in this picture.

Nice looking Kumho! I remember when my Kumho looked like that! It is just about junk now also. It only has 12,400 miles on it, I will probably squeeze another 2 or 3 thousand miles out of it.

My wife and I headed out at 10 am, we hit the coast rd in Hampton NH and headed north. Took rt.1A out of Kittery Maine into Ogunquit then hopped on rt.1 up to Biddeford Pool. Not much to do in this very small coastal town but the views are well worth the ride. Temp stayed around 60 but it sure got cool on the way home when the sun went down. Ones has to love heated gear I say.
We ended up with 6 hrs in the saddle and 168 miles on the ticker. We sure hope we can squeeze in few more rides. I ride locally until the salt hits the roads, not good for the toys as you know.

I got back about an hour ago, and had the most interesting meeting... :D

I stopped to re-fuel in Wurtsboro, and ran into my first encounter with full-patch Hell's Angels Riders.
We wished each other a "Merry Christmas", and talked about the riding a little bit...
We don't normally see them up around here, and I'm glad that I had a chance to meet them. They were.... pleasant! :thumbup:

Just got back from my long circuit.

North on 23 to Port Jervis then East on US 6 to 17A then South through Sterling Forest and Tuxedo. Ended by coming back through Ringwood.

Saw quite a few bikes and two Spyders; a yellow RS and a red RT.

Decided to take mine out for a spin since its been sitting in the garage since October. 40 deg with Sun coming home no Sun and was a bit colder. Should be my last ride of 2015.
They are talking a mix of snow and rain next week.

Even tho it was a short ride it was nice getting out on the spyder again. :thumbup:Started right up.. :thumbup: Of coarse the battery tender was plugged in..:yes:

Was able to get a couple hours of riding in. Looking at the long range forecast, today could be it. Although we said that a month ago too!

Was able to get a few really neat pictures of downtown Rochester almost empty and all lit up. It was pretty cool.

next week looks to be mostly rain, but there's a chance next Saturday could be riding weather.

Weather's a little less sure down here in Northern NJ; mostly rain but may be some sleet or freezing rain.

If so, that's probably it for me as well. But if not, I'll go out for a little bit on New Years Day, just to be able to say I did.

As of today, I have rode more miles on my Spyder than my Ski-doo this February...

We had a warm day last weekend and went out for about 45 miles. Today another low to mid 60 day rode down to Maryland to Woody's for some seafood for lunch. Chilly start and a bit windy but a great ride overall. 160 miles today, tons of motorcycles on the road. You had to really watch out if you were on a 2 wheeler lots of gravel on the roads from last weeks heavy rain.

This turned out to be a good year to sell our Ski-doo's and I really didn't miss them that much. First time I am without a sled in about 25 years.
