Storage? What's that?
In the early 1970s I rode a Honda CB350 from New Hamshire down to Portsmouth, VA leaving N.H. on the 2nd of January. Departure temp was 28º F! Stayed over in NYC one night and when I left there the next morning it was all the way up to 34º F.
The trick is that the road has to be snow/ice free (unless you live in upper Canada of course!) and your body is properly protected.
Be well, everyone!
