Sad Day

[Deanna777]

HI Everyone,

Today was a sad day, I put my spyder into hibernation. I took it for its last ride for the season. It was a cool morning, about 40 degrees this morning. I am looking forward to spring again. So I can ride, ride, ride.



Hope everyone has a safe riding season. Deanna

Seems a little premature, 40º is not that bad, and must have warmed up in the afternoon. It was 44 here this morning but went on a nice 65 mile ride about 1000 when it got to mid 50s. Just dress for it. Ya gotta do what is right for you. Have a nice winter.

Pam, Yes, I will continue posting here. I put my spyder into winter storage, from today until April 1,2016.

The motorcycle season here in the NE is short( from April to Oct.).
Yes, spring is around the corner.

I had frost on the wind shield this morning, under the BRP full cover that was on it. Also, I dressed for it. Yes, I gotta to what I got to do, I can not do everything. I hope the winter here in the North East is short. Deanna

Tis sad.. hope your off season is pleasant and enjoyable with all the winter sports...do miss it some of the time...but it doesn't take long to get over it and hit the road. gotta love SoCal...

The later part of next week is forecast for cold mornings, but lower to mid 50's. I'm hoping to get a ride in from Portsmouth to the Flying Goose near Sunapee.

I hope you can get out for another short ride if the weather cooperates.

I don't mean to rub salt in a wound, but South Carolina is a great place to ride. It only snows 2 or 3 days a year so we can ride year round. I'm heading to Myrtle beach this weekend. Don't plan to swim with the sharks; which we seem to have taken a liking to our beaches also.

Dee,
You can always look at it this way:
If you can't ryde the Spyder; it's time to buy farkles for the Spyder!!
Shopping Time!!

[cuznjohn]

i wish i felt that way, after years of riding i feel i lost the enjoyment of it.

Chin up Deanna.

By the time that Spring arrives; here's to hoping that the joy of riding, has found it's way back into your heart!

[OverHillAndDale]

If I understand the seasons properly, winter is Farkling Season in the NE. Down south we can ride nearly all year long, but you have a chance to disassemble, do the deep cleaning, and install the farkles that that more time and care. All in all I'd rather ryde, but you have an opportunity to have a nearly new byke by spring.

I grew up in Michigan, have lived in New York, up by the St Lawrence, spent time in New England, and parts of Canada. If it's above 20 degrees, and the roads are clear, I'll ride.

But now that they Brine the roads; it's getting tougher and tougher to keep the unwanted chemicals off of the bikes.

[Fatcycledaddy]

I can't put mine away yet. I know its getting cold so I just purchased heated clothing from Bajaron to squeeze out a few more rides. Hooking it up tonight and trying it out tomorrow, high of 48 in Michigan tomorrow. Color change is slow in Michigan this year so I am planning a 4 day color tour next weekend and the heated gear should be awesome.

Shout out to Bajaron who took the time to answer all of my questions about heated gear. He was great to deal with and very willing to share his knowledge. The prices of his heated gear includes shipping and boy was it quick!!! I expected to get it next week and it all came in yesterday. THANKS RON!!!!

If you are that passionate about riding you should consider moving to the SouthWest. We ride year around here. Camille and I are presently visiting the Grand Canyon and Sedona AZ.

For a few more weeks...the lower temps don't stop me (43 this morning)..but snow, ice now that is the game changer for me. Wow if I had 6 months of non ryding I would be in serious trouble as my down time is spent pouring over maps and seeing what the latest and greatest is for our Spyders...As I suited up to ryde home from granddaughters VB game up North...beautiful ryde up...that sun goes down and it is a whole diff temp...thought I was prepared...not...so that will get "fixed" this morning...two season gear in Spyder. Biggest Spyder challenge I have right now is convincing my insurance adjuster (from the hit and run where I was backed into) that local body shop can not and will not work on the Spyder. She admits this is her first Spyder claim..but has the mind set that body work is body work. I submitted the estimate (by a Spyder repair guru) and she is struggling with the shipping costs...again explained all parts have to come from Canada. Oh well, the broken frunk area doesn't interfer with ryding so while she wraps her belief system and knowledge into a workable package I will just keep ryding!!! Nothing worth getting my tail in a knot or miss a mile of wind in my face. Dee stay connected luv hearing from you...

HI Dave, The cold and nasty weather is on its way, in the higher elevations ( mountains) tonight they are forecasting snow. Do a Google search for last years winter weather. ( and see the weather that the NE had) you will see what I mean. Have a safe Halloween and winter. Deanna

[Deanna777]

Move! Life is too short to be miserable! Move!

I only put up the spyder for winter hibernation, in the spring I will take it out of hibernation. Thanks for the advice. Deanna

The off season gives me a chance to catch -up with other things, the holidays are just around the corner. Today's weather forecast is in the 40's day time, Night temps, 20's ( higher elevations Snow) I am use to the weather changes here in Vermont. Deanna
