Spent 5 years living in the DC suburbs with nothing but two bikes. A sport bike for most riding and a dual-sport for the snow/icy conditions. Froze my ass off on a pretty regular basis and crashed too many times to count.

Little tip about snow/ice riding on a dual-sport bike. Run really low air pressure and when you put sheet metal screws in the semi-knobbies make sure you leave them OFF the middle of the tire. They are VERY slippery if you happen to hit actual pavement. Dont ask................... It wasnt pretty... lol.... live and learn.
