My bikes never really go into hibernation, but the riding days have been so few and far in between with all the snow caked up on the roads that it almost seems like it. It would start clearing, and the snow would start melting (slowly), then bam, another storm would hit. At least I was able to ride the dirtbike around in the "white mud" most of the time. It helps until I can get back on the streetbike.
