Edmonton, Alberta here.
Road my 2006 Sporty until Remembrance day(Nov11) '07. First ride '08 was March 11. 2 feet of snow beside the road. Dry pavement though. Oh yeah, leave extra room to stop when tires are solid as ice!That's only 4 mos without riding. I've got a friend rides his 150cc scooter every day of the year.
Looking forward to a 1 way flight to Phoenix in 3 weeks. Picking up my new (to me) 2006 Street Bob and riding 1800 miles home in a week. That's with a 2 day stop in Vegas.
It's already hitting 100deg F in AZ. I'm a little worried about snow in the high pass near Butte Montana. Alberta should be dry and getting hot by then. Temp is a function of altitude and latitude. Lot's of colder weather in Montana and Idaho than up here in Northern Alberta.
Go figure!
