If you are coming to North Dakota to live you may be asking yourself, should I bring my motorcycle? Having the privilage of working with many fine personnel from The Minot Air Force Base as well as Texans streaming in to work in the oil fields, I find there are a lot of misconceptions about our climate. We do have Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall in North Dakota and despite the whining of many Summer really is longer then one month.
I was having a fun conversation with a friend yesterday where we were re-living the days of our insane youth. I knew Ralph was a bike fan because I saw him this summer on one of/if not the nicest bikes I've ever seen. We talked about our death defying feats: speed, jumps, sliding under vehicles (even moving ones) and SNOW. I'm pretty proud of the fact then when I bought my new 750 in 1982 I drove it every month of the year except February of that first year. Granted I had to wear a snowmobile suit but I figured as long as the roads were clear I was going to ride. Well Ralph out drove me. He said people really looked and pointed as he went down the street with his feet on the ground all the way to keep the bike upright. Now that is not a tactic I would advise but the point is You can motorcycle in North Dakota and the seasons length depends on how much of a mommies boy you are (or maybe how sane you are). So "Man Up" and bring you bike to North Dakota, even the biggest wuss should get 6 months of riding out of it.
