Between rains and/or wet snow in winter, there are opportunities in the Toronto and greater region. Yes, salt is a problem, but I wait until it has been mostly washed or brushed aside. The salty roads have to be at least dry (otherwise it is really miserable). The slight salt residue provides very good traction. Sand on the other hand, well, beware. Salt dust - the chain does not like, so extra protection is required. -10C is subject to the rider, of course. Nevertheless, -10C is not a problem for the CB and I find is good medicine for an hour stint. As The Ferret may attest, it makes one feel alive in the doldrums of winter.
