Nice machine. I can see the leaves have dropped from the trees on your side of the planet as well.

I started out today on the Zuma 125 to run an errand with just a few snow flurries here and there but it quickly changed to wet snow before I got back. That said it was still good to get at least a few miles in.

You can see the blurry snow flakes in this pic. As long as the temps are above 40 F. and the roads are clear of ice and salt I'll continue to ride. . .but only local. As they say there are old bikers and bold bikers but no old bold bikers. :D

I have already parked our bikes in the basement for the season. No snow but the rain is incessant. I joked with my wife that I should put water skis on them and make the rear wheel a paddle wheel...and maybe some floats so they won't fall over. :lol: ;)

Years ago I would ride it through the winter. We don't get much snow or ice but the roads are covered in salt. I ride the PCX all year rain or shine.

We have ice everywhere this morning, real nasty stuff. Fortunately I managed a run in the sunshine yesterday before they salted the roads but can't see it getting better for a while.
