Even on sub-zero days, the wind was null and the sun high and the roads dry (but the damn road salt), the bike went for a decent run. No heated garages. The past years storage was just a canvas tent that has torn from the sun's UV. Fortunately over all the years, none of the bikes rotted. The carbureted bikes, however, were harder to start stone cold. Anyway, I enjoy the option to ride in any season - even if hell'ish.Don't get me wrong. If we happen to have a warm day in Jan/Feb 2019, one of these bikes will be on the road. Not much to carrying some stabilizer along, and replenishing it before riding home.
