I ride year round, as long as it's not raining hard or snowing. My old leathers lately haven't been doing there job though, could be because I'm getting a little older. I just ordered a Hein Gericke boost jacket and pants, and a Lazer Century helmet. Hopefully that'll take the edge off!

Perhaps "winter" means "6 months of rain" in Portland, but here in Michigan it often means "snow" and "ice". While liquid water won't hurt a motorcycle, the frozen variety can have some very nasty effects on it and its rider. There's nothing quite like the layer of salt that remains after a good snowfall, either - you'd be surprised at just how slippery it can make a road, even after all the ice is gone. I think that by studding my tires, maybe I can finally be considered a real rider and not just the social type. I guess it just isn't enough to consistantly ride 8 months out of the year.
