not an option where I live, (central BC's interior) riding in that kinda weather will get you killed, our roads are far too dangerous with black ice and what not (sealcoat does not like frost), corners that stay crispy due to zero sun exposure.
My last ride was Oct 25th and BamBam is back in his winter spot...in my dining room

Moved to Charlotte, NC, from Upstate NY. I never really hated the snow, but the idea of riding most of the year was appealing.
I just got a Gerbing heated jacket liner, and was able to test it out this weekend. VERY nice addition to my gear. Heated grips and better hand guard are getting installed on the Uly as soon as I get a free night. As long as there's no ice, I should be able to ride.

Yes, not to mention the proliferation of diesel douche slednecks trying to pass everything in sight in their top-heavy trucks, regardless of road conditions. I wouldn't feel safe in a car let alone on a bike...

When the weather gets close to freezing I ride a bicycle to work and make imitation Buell sounds. Also a wheelie or 2.
^I lowered the rear 2", so it sits level. The tires are actually stock size, just appear larger since they are so aggressive, and I mounted them on 10" or 10.5" wide wheels(don't recall).
I actually want to trade or sell my wheels/tires and get a set of oem 2013 17" aluminum ram 1500 wheels and go back to more of a street tire. Although I do love the look of these..
I lost some capacity by lowering the rear but I added air bags and it's great again. I've had 2,220 lbs in the bed plus me and misc. crap in the cab and the toolboxes and although it squatted quite a bit it actually rode good(of course I was taking it pretty easy).
Sorry to thread jack (although I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the truck attention!)
Sad story, last week I went over a curb and smashed my passenger step bar. Lesson learned, if you buy a long ass wheel base truck, lower it, and put step bars on it, you don't have any ground clearance lol.
