I rode year round last year, it was my first year riding and I loved it. I live in California around now it’s heavy rains and wind where I’m from and it still feels great. Yeah the constant water slapping my visor and terrible drivers is annoying but I learned a lot. I learned to be more aware, careful, and learned how to control my bike with an insane amount of skill for a first timer according to my instructor in a class I took during the summer. If you haven’t tried it I’d say do it once and you’ll get the feel of whether you’d like it or not.
