Maybe if you ride in your imagination that will be good enough?
At least until the next time you swing a leg over your bike in the garage and make vroom vroom noises.
Sometimes that works for me.
 
Daycare services called for today. Both granddaughters needed someone to be home when their buses dropped them off this afternoon. No need to take anyone anyplace so I rode. Just over 44 miles round trip.

My 9 yr old granddaughter had leg surgery just over a week ago to correct a twist in her right leg. That makes one son and 2 grandkids who needed surgery for leg/hip corrections. We knew Kinlee was going to need this and finally getting it done. Not as invasive as my grandson but still needs the leg in a brace for 6 weeks and getting around in a wheelchair. She was one of the grandkids I needed to be there for when the special bus dropped off at the driveway.

What's this "put them away" thing you speak of???
Just put some Sta-Bil in the tank at each fill just in case the roads take a while to clear and ride every day you can every month. That's what I do. Though I'm waiting for some seriously cold temps to see if I can continue to do that on a bike with no wind protection... no fairing and no windshield.
 
We used to have the PaulCB Memorial Cold Weather contest for who could ride in the coldest temps.

There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. And that new XR has traction control... ;)

It’s more about the brine and salt they put out if it snows. Then we have to wait for a couple good rains before we venture out again.

Nah, just fill a sprayer with warm/hot water to clean it off after the ride and then wipe or spray on ACF-50 liberally for corrosion protection.

Wax your bike with grey poupon and the salt won't touch it!!......my wife coats herself with it before bed every night and I don't touch her...... :biggrin:Russ.
 
No riding going on here!
Intermittent pouring rain or snow squalls!
as Mark Twain said about CNY weather, " If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute"!
 
Another trip today up to my son's house to help put up lights. Reminded me why I don't do that any more.
Was a 45 mile ride with temps around 52F going and 49 coming back. STILL wearing my summer gloves but the handlebar muffs keeps the hands plenty warm.
 
Just done my last drive for 2025, salt was pickled last night. I went for my annual Christmas tree pictures in Bridgewater Nova Scotia which is 3 km from home.. Great year for driving, our best trips was to Newfoundland, only 6hr ferry ride.. going back next year this time 3 weeks not 2. Oil changed sleeping til March 2026

Another 45 miles today riding up to be there when my 2 granddaughters stepped/rolled off the busses. REALLY overcast today. Even a little drizzle for the first few miles. Temps hovered around 42-43 F going up and 41-42 F coming home. Thinking it might be time to zip-in the thermal liner in my riding pants. My hands were almost too warm... approaching hot... in the Kemimoto muffs with my mid-range gloves.
