10 Best Things About Motorcycling in the Cold
1. No bugs.
2. Fewer tourists (and no squids) on back roads.
3. Frosty auto windshields provide increased opportunity to practice avoidance maneuvers.
4. Amish buggy "exhaust" is no longer slippery (it is, however, bumpy).
5. No muscle spasms from reaching around to open jacket vents on the fly.
6. Lessened danger of getting caught in your zipper (guys only).
7. Corn is harvested, providing increased sight lines for cornering or Bambi-spotting.
8. Opportunity to assess blood-flow to extremities.
9. Battery Tender? Don't need no stinkin' Battery Tender!
10. OK, I only came up with 9. Help me out!
12/12/10 addendum: The guys at The Pace Podcast read my list on their podcast today, Episode 56. If you're not already a listener, I highly recommend The Pace -- give 'em a listen!

11. You can shake the ice out of your pants cuff right into a glass. INSTANT PARTY!
When you pull up on your motorcycle in the dead of winter, the look on the faces of the Bikers who Put Their Bikes Away at the end of summer is PRICELESS.

10. It's cool to drive in winter!:)
I agree with anonymous, the look in their faces are indeed priceless! I actually am not on e of those who put away their bikes at the end of summer. I ride whenever I can even if it's the dark months.
