Winter is almost upon us. Time to put the Rocket to sleep

It's coming! I ride until the first salt truck hits the road then it is a long winter hibernation. I have several bikes to work on to keep me busy but it isn't the same as riding

Same here, as soon as that first spray of salt goes in Bertha gets tucked away till March

I'll give her a full service including checking the valve shims. I've bought some polishing wheels for the drill, I'll get her jacked up and the wheels off and sort them out
 
I'm toying around with the idea of getting some gear to ride her through the season. Denver is notorious for crazy weather and temp swings, so there's probably going to be a good riding day 2-3 times a month.
 
NOOOOO!! I'm hardcore... if the roads are clear and clean... all winter long!! (...just to make people look...)

I live about about 630 km west of you at about the same latitude. The weather is rapidly going downhill here as well. The leaves are about at peak color here right now. Riding about done

What a difference being about 400 km south of you fellas' makes!
