I think its getting really close to the end of the season of riding for us in MN. Boy the summer went by fast this year!!!! Seems like just yesturday I was complaining about it not warming up soon enough for me to get the bike out for the season of riding........ Now its gone again already!! Oh well,thats what I get for living way up north and not down south somewhere!!!! Damn it!!!! LOL!!!

Don't put it into storage just yet, it will warm up for a few more weeks, I rode until the first of December last year. We had an early cold snap last year too, and then it got real nice for another month and a half.
Don't give up man, it's like riding your snowmobile, just dress warmer!  Hell, it just got up to 32 (26 w/windchill) this morning and I will be out riding as much as I can today.

Chico, I think you might be right. It was 44 degrees here in southern Maryland this morning. Its pushing through 52 and might make it to sixty. I don’t mind riding at 50 degrees or higher when the sun is out but it gets a little chilly if the sun hasn’t come up yet. I’m sure we’ll get a few more weeks in, you just might have to put on an extra layer or start a little later in the day.
I hear its supposed to be colder this year than it has been, something about currents being cooler.
I’d be out now except I have a cold I don’t want to turn into the flu, bronchitis or phenomena.
Enjoy the days we have left.

It's still warm enough here in the mid afternoon. Sunny day, 50-60ish, it's just fine to ride for me. Gloves, jacket, jeans, keeps plenty warm. Just wear heavier gloves and put the liner in your jacket, and you'll be fine.
