That depends on where in the world you are and perhaps what weather you are willing to ride in. Somewhere somebody is thinking it is too hot. I write this on a wet windy chilly day wishing it was different in Lancashire UK..

Riding with ice/snow around is just not smart ..

Adrian, I'm with you. Cold I don't mind. Wet I don't mind. Cold & wet is an issue. I don't mean cold like in the 50s Fahrenheit. I mean freezing or near freezing temps where black ice could form on the road (<40F). I was fortunate when I got my R18 in December, we had a good 3 weeks of cold (20-40F), but dry weather here in the northeast, so I was able to put on about 1000 miles in December. But January & February was near constant snow/ice on the ground, so I didn't start putting miles on again till a few days in March and April where the road surface was viable. Frustratingly, it seemed we had a few decent times right in the middle of the work day, but then weekends were storms again!
