I too am pretty much a fair weather biker, dont mind the cold if the roads are salt and grit clear, but there is something about going out in the rain which I don't do....if I'm caught it its a different matter though. When I was younger my bike was my only mode of transport and did all 4 seasons no matter how deep the snow, rain and frost was.....don't miss one bit as its a weekend toy weather permitting.
I like to keep my bike in good clean condition and have done all my winter maintenance with the exception of replacing the fronk fork springs. Like you I can't wait to get out and blast the cob webs away, from the bike and myself.
And with this post I have reached the status of.....Weekend Warrior.
