any of you guys ride year round?
dont have my cbr yet (still riding my Magna) but told the wife if i do buy a bike i would ride it all year(for justification) I''m in Oregon and it rains alot during the winter. compared to my 04 jacked up Dodge Ram diesel it would pay for itself.

I ride year ''round, but not like "I don''t have a car" year ''round. My bike might sit for at the most 2 weeks in the dead of winter. I can''t stand to not ride for very long.

I ride year round...I went out on Christmas day last year.

I''m in Georgia so it''s rarely too cold to ride, but when it''s below 45 I don''t really enjoy it.

i live in La Jolla (san diego) and my other home is in Los Angeles. Either way it''s always sunny and warm, perfect riding weather.

1986 was the last year that I can remember having clear roads all winter, and I rode all that season. The problem up here in Canada is that we have 10 months of winter and two months of poor dog sledding. God bless global warming... Keep driving those big suv''s... any hey how soon are the chinese gonna fire up all those factories and cars?

I ride year round, but not like I do during summer. I ride to work almost daily during summer (120 miles round trip) but during winter I only really ride to work on Fridays, even then sometimes I drive. But I will still ride on weekends for a joy ride or something. Like someone ^ said, my wont ever sit for more than two weeks. And I rarely even go that long. I live in a little butthole town in middle of Cali, about an hour of Sacramento if you know where that is.
