Now the weather seems to have turned wet and none of my cars have roofs and I don't want them getting wet I've got my Guzzi 1000S out for the winter. Anyone else got it the wrong way round?

I ride my bike all year round and I'm considering putting a six-cylinder engine in a Volvo Amazon for a winter project. Does that count?

Bike only for me, whatever the weather...

It is just getting good now, I really do prefer winter etc to summer.

The Gpz gets used all year round. The TL does too but only on sunny days.
Saying that cars get used all year also so i guess i win and lose.. :-)

Bike for me except in bad Ice (7 miles from a gritted road) when the Cerby comes into its own.

At least you won't get cold scraping the windscreen free of frost outside and waiting for the engine to warm up enough to demist the inside.

Yep, bike all year round for me. However, I had to think about it this morning whilst watching the tree in the garden struggle to stay upright, through a window with 10 gallons of water on it!!
