I live in Kentucky and Saturday it was in the 60's as well. Went for a ride, such a rarity - a January ride in Kentucky. The sun was shining and it was beautiful. Can't wait for the spring.0

I ride year-round. Of course it's not a big claim since I live in Florida. I do occasionally have to wear leather - chaps, jacket, gloves, etc.0

Hahaha...NH. We don't get out on 2 wheels much here in January. There isn't any snow but lots of salt on the roads and I personally HATE being cold!

I live in Houston Texas and we can pretty much ride year round. This past weekend it was in the mid 70's and I rode in a t-shirt and mesh jacket. The weather changed last night. Now I will have to wear leathers and warmer clothing.
I have a part-time job at an independent motorcycle shop and ride my bike there whenever possible. It tends to bring in more customers when there are bikes parked in front of the shop!0 -
Haha I wish! But I live in Vancouver... So it is a NO and NO.. Dark ice everywhere..0

Live in Portland Oregon. About 31 degrees, but dry. I rode in to work today. Very cold at 4am, but it will be workth it on the drive home when it warms up to a balmy 45 degrees.0

We ride year round - florida is great for that. We road a couple of hundred miles last weekend first up to Jacksonville and then down to Daytona. A warm spring-like day. this weekend the high is only supposed to be 45, so probably going to be a weinie and not ride.0

come on down! The more the merrier - Florida has a lot of women riders also! It always surprises me when we go through other states that you don't see many women riders.0 -

Right. Not many in Vancouver area. Hot ones are even rarer. That's why I have to be one. LoL.0 -
Hamilton, Ontario here - rode New Years day! Loved it! And then on the 7th it was nice enough to be out for a couple hours in the afternoon - now the cold is moving in! YUK0

I'm in the NC mountains, so it often dips in the single digits. I do ride some, but have to watch where/when. There is always the concern of a random patch of ice, especially when I get into higher elevations. My bikes are also carbed, so sometimes there are a little unhappy on those cold mornings.
I wear a 2-piece Tourmaster suit to keep the cold out. Works pretty good unless is REALLY cold.

No we live in Iowa! But this has been an unusually warm and dry winter this year, even after New Year's we were able to ride. When I am such a hard core biker whatever am I doing in this state?0

I live in northern Illinois, but about two weeks ago it was 60 for a few days and you can bet I had the bike out those days. Two days later the temperature dropped and we had 5 inches of snow on the ground. Now we are looking to get another 6 or so today. Only a couple more months and it will be riding season. I just have to keep telling myself that......0

It is unseasonably warm right now in Houston Texas! Supposed to get to 80 degrees today. Hubby and I rode all morning in t-shirts and mesh jackets and STILL broke a sweat when we stopped.
I am leading my first group ride tomorrow morning with our HOG Chapter. Highs in the upper 70's and we are riding to Galveston.0 -
northern Alberta, we have snow from October to April :sad: :sad: :sad
very short but intense season here!
Retirement plan is to buy a toy hauler and tour around the southern States. (In 30 or so years):sad: :sad: :sad:0 -
A slightly warm spell allowed me to ride to work this morning, even though it was still raining. Going to be clear nearly 60F this afternoon, so I really wanted to be on the bike!

Just looked at the 10 day forecast for the PNW. Thursday and beyond looks like sunny weather. Low's upper 30's. Highs Mid to high 50's.
It ain't t shirt weather, but I can't wait.0 -
I rode this weekend. Started out in a leather jacket then went to mesh as the day warmed. Gorgeous day! These are the days that make me happy that I don't live in Washington (state) any more. Especially with the weather they've been having lately! I had friends without power during that last storm for 5 days! Yikes!0
-
I rode to work today, despite the 15F temps. It was only in the 40s on the ride home. I just prefer riding to driving if I can manage it.

I live in Lebanon, Oregon (PNW) and went on an awesome Poker Run this weekend!0

Rode in to work today too. Gonna get rained on, but my gear (Tourmaster 2-piece suit) is waterproof.

could spring really be just around the corner?? sunny today & could hit 50 degrees a few times this week. hopefully by the weekend it'll still be nice. planning a feburary ride...0

I've been able to ride quite a few times this year! I usually can't get out more than a couple of times here during the winter - I'm in Western NY near Buffalo.0
-
I am in West Tennessee, "if the clouds ain't cryin' I'm a ridin""0
-
I'm in Fresno Ca, and even though it gets a bit chilly in the winter, we are blessed to be able to ride year round. The downside (if you can call it that) is that there's never really a good time to work on the bike. :-)0
