I bought my speedmaster in April and I do not intend to put it away. Here in Vegas the temps hardly go below 40 during the winter. I bought a pair of leather riding chaps and I may spring for some hippo hands as even with gloves it gets kinda nasty when it gets down below 60.

With a full face helmet, a tight fitting and lined jacket, a turtle necked sweater and a good pair of boots, hippo hands and a decent windshield I inted to ride all winter long. Many years ago back East I rode all year long and only took on 4 wheels when the snows packed all the roads.

I have lived here in Vegas 16 years and I have seen snow 3 times. It never lasts more than a few hours and rapidly melts. However sometimes the temps dip into the 20's and ice becomes an issue. Those decorative fountains so popular with some of the trendy yippie shopping centers have become ice creations with low temps and wind conditions can blow spray some distance onto roadways. Look out.
