Just wondering how many riders that live in the cold, snowy, northern provinces, states and countries take their beloved motorcycles south in the winter to warmer climates for a riding holiday in the sun?
Hopefully the sun.
I was in Southern California in January a few years ago and it rained for four days straight. It wasn't a problem for me as I live on Vancouver Island and we get lots of rain there but the locals weren't to happy.
Ride safe, Rydr

I usually ride around all year long except when there is over an inch of snow on the ground.
I should look into getting a proper off roading bike like a BMW 650 Dakar, a Ural Gear Up or this maybe for snow riding: http://www.mp3.piaggio.com/index_eng.html
The scooter with 3 wheels but snow tires aren't available yet.

One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

Someone else I know who lives in the Nelson area regularly tells me to "Bite him".BuzZz wrote:Bite Me!
Uuhh, I mean.... due to a misspent youth, I can't drive anyplace 'sunny' in the winter. It's -25 and the roads are covered in ice/snow/drifts..... but it doesn't bother me, nope, not me, not me.... not me.....

Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

We are hoping for a vacation in the FLA Keys. We are really hoping to be able to pull it together and bring the bikes. We do not have a trailer, and we aren't ready to buy.
We want the one that's like a little efficiency camper in front, and the "garage" for two bikes in rear, and it's a pull behind. We saw one recently for about $15,000. Not!
It is not practical to ride down...
