Yikes! It's been great lately here in Nevada! Luckily our winters don't get that cold so it makes riding nice year round...except the summers can get up to 125F...spicy!

Update: just rained for about 3 days straight here breaking the record from 1973!

Winter is coming to an end for the Zero, but it is still being abused and running fine.  This report contains comments by
the latest rider regarding what he would like to see changed on the FX:

These are awesome. Good to see my winter riding technique (#532 - carry a disposable lighter) is still quite valid in the world of electric motorcycling :)

I can't tell you how long I struggled with frozen lock cylinders until I realized that.

Aerostitch's Zero hasn't seemed to be affected by really cold winter weather.  It is getting warmer now in Duluth and the Zero has been put in "sport" mode:  https://rideapart.com/articles/zero-zero-kyles-feeling-sporty
