Insulated chaps, long johns, good gloves and boots (those thermal hand warmers that hunters use are great), a warm jacket with a hoodie under it, and a full face helmet will allow you to ride anytime there isn't snow or ice on the roads.Things here in Wisconsin are quickly running into a hit a miss situation weather wise. Highs in the 60's this week. Heading into the 50's by the weekend. Nothing long rang looks any better for the near future. Iv'e ridden in 30 degree weather but it takes the fun out of it. For a guys who has owned his new Drifter for two days, the season is way too short.

- September 30, 2012, 21:16:36 PMThe leaves are changing here in Indiana too. It means some of the best rides (scenery wise) here, but also the end of riding without heavy gear. I too ride most of the year, but I'll miss passing other riders on the roads. Here's to hoping that it's not too long of winter.........

- September 30, 2012, 19:30:41 PMLuckily, here in Mississippi, we have another few months before most people put up their bikes..
Since it is my daily driver, I only took the car to work 5 times since last October..(snow, and Heavy rain).
When I lived in Colorado Springs, I rode all year except when there was snow on the road..
Even when the temps were in the teens, (Fahrenheit) I still rode..
You just have to dress for it..
I live it when the seasons change..
Here the best fall ride is the Natchez trace, good roads, 50mph limit, no commercial traffic, you can travel from Nashville to Natchez ms.

- September 30, 2012, 18:26:09 PM Well went for a run up the north hwy, Hwy 11 North and what a fantastic sight. That nature has the colour red so varied in its depth and hues is really awesome. I tried to get a decent picture but my camera was not cooperating with the idea. The ambient temps were in the 6 to 9*C or 42.8, 48.2*F range. So at 100kms (65 miles per hour) I was trying to figure the wind chill, then fell asleep, no I was home by then...lol....oh well.....
The colours along hwy 64 through the back country was really nice and such different colours, the yellow/reds, pale green, dark green, brown, tan, in the leaves was really an awesome ride, loads of moose hunters are out too and lots of ATV's. This means summer is over and that fall will be over really soon to and time to get my snowblower out once more.
