I rode on saturday to the UAlbany game and FROZE MY ASS OFF. I’m not made for this weather :lol. I prefer 90-100 over 60 (Florida weather). Anyway, it was so cold that I pulled over at X-Gates and got a cold weather underarmour shirt from Dick’s. Worked quite well. I don’t ride in the mornings anymore (to work) but I do typically go home to get it before I go to school and ride in the afternoons/evenings (night school 4 nights a week). Rode in the rain a few days ago. ---

I’ve barely ridden this year, maybe 1000miles so far. it’s a shame. Days where I normally would have taken a bike ride this summer I would take the boat out instead. Hopefully get some miles in before winter storage. ---

When do you guys normally start storing for the winter? October? I know there will be a cold week or two where I won’t ride but it seems like we always get surprised in October with a nice day or two. I could probably Google this, but what do you guys do for prep-for-storing? So far, I think I’ll put in some fuel stabilizer (on a full tank?) and put the bike on both stands and cover it. ---

I always store in November, they always seems to be some nice days in November where it warms up and usually around thanksgiving is when I wash all my stuff and put it away with battery maintainers and throw the covers over. I just try to beat the salt trucks mainly ---

yeah, they are about 2o-25 bucks, I use the battery tender jr. most brand new bikes come with a plug pre-wired so take a look for one on your bike but if you don’t have one it only takes 5 minutes to hook it up ---

HOLY \*\*\*\*. Took the bike to class tonight and regretted it. Just got home. I’ve never been so cold in my life. I think this is it for me too. I’ll keep it ‘road ready’ just in case it hits the 70’s again in one of those weird fall days…but otherwise, I think that’s all she wrote. Had fun my first season…3,600 miles in basically just over 2 months. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/does-anyone-ride-anymore/267720.md?page=2)
