What month do you get your bike back out?

Well?

The r6 is still tucked up and i dont know when I should pull the beast back out. Been riding all winter on the xj.

Im so hoping for a good summer this year a nice huge heat wave for 4 months please. when wil it start getting warm again!!!

[GreigR]

Probably the end of March-Mid April depending on the weather.

Last weekend.

Put it away again pretty sharpish mind.

The only time my bike has been "tucked up" is this week. Too much snow and sheet ice on the country roads around where I live - even my 4x4 was sliding around this morning.

Pretty much every month. There has to be a sharp frost/snow/ice for me to not use the bike. (I’m using the car at the moment!!!)

I don't put bikes away for the winter unless they're broken.

First proper outing this year will be cadwell on the 15th

[rsv gone!]

When the roads are clean and the salt has all been washed away.

I have to use the xj to commute to work so ive been on the road all winter too.

That sounds about right .. unless the odd sunny weekend forces me to go ride them

My bike has been taking a nice holiday locked up under its cover this week so far, this is likely to be its only layup during a working week this year. Until such time as the snow/ice melts on my close and connecting road (was like a skating rink this am.. sliding around wearing suitable footwear too) it will be staying put.

Same here.

Never again.

Probably Late March, just in time for the April showers.

Same here, as soon as I can without losing feeling in my entire body for the rest of the day

Triple went out 2 weekends ago when it was dry and about 5deg. went for a 80 mile run over to south wales

was lovely. If the bikes insured and taxed seems wrong not to get out when its fine but chilly day

[Stig]

Pretty much every working day.

Which makes riding at the moment 'interesting' to say the least. Still, at least I can legitimately claim to have 'got the back out' - twice just this morning in fact

[Urban_Ninja]

when there is no snow or ice, I dont really tend to put it away, just dont ride when not possable/to deadly

[3doorPete]

The first weekend when there are dry, salt free roads - guess March ish if we're lucky!

[freddytin]

All months, just dependant on spare time.

Hopefully we'll be getting fresh snow tomorrow, so I'll nip out for a play.

this month?

Use all year round although currently it's getting some attention with Uncle BMW, will maybe see it back next week some time. I wish I had a garage and a car, there have been some times last month when I really didn't want to be on two wheels. If I didn't commute I'd probably park it between November and March.
