A surprising amount of people in Michigan are buying bikes in the middle of winter......are we stupid or just hard-headed?

Sure, as long as I can get through the snow and ice.

What kind of bike do you have now?

It's an '08 Suzuki sv650sf, I'll be selling it in the spring though when the market for it is better.

Both. The reason I got it now is because I got a way better deal on it than I could have in a few months because most people don't buy in the winter.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Ducati, but I don't let it in the house.

Poor Duc :(

I'll have a garage next year but until then they stay inside for the winter.

You got pics?

I have an engine from one of those sitting in my closet, waiting to get money to build my Autocross car with it.

I'll post some after work. I lost a lot of my good ones when my SD card corrupted, so no guarantees.

By "not in the house " I mean a garage.

Also known as "things you can only do before you get married" I know because it is a thing I used to do before I got married.

Nah, I'm not playing with Gixxerkart, that stuff is scary. Building an A-Mod, aero packages are awesome.

Currently I have a 1989 Honda CB-1 that has... issues. It needs a fuel pump. That way I can get it running well enough to diagnose the ticking noise it makes. Oh, wonderful obscure Japanese motorcycles for which parts are no longer available.

I used to have a 2007 CBR1000RR Repsol, but I had a little track day accident, never found the time or money to fix it up, and ended up selling it to pay for a honeymoon.

track days are the best. Too bad you had to sell it, those bikes are my favorite.

Don't have anywhere else I can safely keep it right now, and why not?

I will trade you some texas weather if you'll magically fix my Enfield so I can ride this week.

Yeah, it sucks, I really loved the bike. But it sat for 2 years, neglected, so I figured it was time to let it go. The CB-1 will probably suffer the same fate, it's taking up space in a friends garage and I just don't have the time for it.

The good news is that my wife is cool with me getting another bike. We're looking to buy a house later this year, so next year I'll probably be in the market.
