Unhappy My bike had been put away

Here in Denmark is't getting pretty cold, so today I have put my bike away for this season. It's quite a sad feeling. So now I am just waiting anxiously for April and warmer weather to come.
I hope you guys enjoy your remaining weeks/months of riding.

FML I'll be right behind you any day now... Can't wait till all the Cali boys put their 2 cents into this thread telling us how bike storage for them, means putting it away for the night Lol

Sadly it's that time of year here to. I think I may have had my last ride about a week ago. Me and my wife went for a nice ride on a nice fall evening. There could be a few good days left but work and regular life often keep me from riding late in the riding season.

I rode all day today and it was 48 degrees F and raining. About noon the rain stopped and the sun came out to a balmy 55 degrees. But yeah, it is getting close.

Happy to oblige...

It rained here last week so I gave her a good bath today. Tomorrow looks to be 88F (31 Celcius). I do need to get some new boots before the next rain, though.

It was cool in the am but warmed up quite a lot by mid-day. Mowed the lawn and took the 900ss out for a spin around the hood. Track bike on the streets is not a good idea but i was jonesing for a final spin. Rode the BMW yesterday and had a jolly good time.

Days are numbered but that just makes all these rides that much better. Batteries should be on tenders by T-Day.

You poor bugga's

We might pay heaps more for a new bike down here but atleast we can ride all year round atleast we get our monies worth not having to "put them away". Haven't worked out how many k's I've ridden this winter, the only down side is the rain, but atleast in our winter there's no bugs & when we get a nice day it's navanhaha ! I'll try & post some pic's of our summer rides so you guy's don't get cabin fever too bad !
