Re:Winter sucks 5 Years, 6 Months ago  
Had to reserve judgement till today, but I am thinking that winter is not to bad here in Colorado. Was about 60'ish today, a bit overcast, but nothing a jacket and gloves would not solve! Enjoyed a great 2.5 hour ride along the foothills. Were alot of folks out today, guess the weather may suck a bit tomorrow (figures, as there is a motorcycle swap meet north about 45 min.), that's winter life in Colorado, 60 toady, may snow tomorrow!

Re:Winter sucks 5 Years, 6 Months ago  
In the 29 years I have lived in the foothills of the Rockies I have never "winterized" my bikes. It might snow a foot one day and be 70 with clear roads in 2 days. I love riding when the ground around me is covered with snow.
The only problem is out here is they gravel the roads when they are slick with ice. When the roads clear the gravel stays behind, it's as bad as ice. Plus it gets kicked back at you. Take it slow, take it easy, and winter riding is a whole other experiance.

Re:Winter sucks 5 Years, 6 Months ago  
Love it here Doc... been here 23 years now (grew up mostly West Caost/Chicago). Lot's of great riding here! Was beautiful over the weekend, rode up north a few clicks for a motorcycle swap meet yesterday. Great way to spend the day. Guess there is chatter about a Roadstar riding event happening up around Estes Park within the next couple of years, you should try to make it!
