I am contemplating relocating to central Ohio and would like to know how long is the riding season there. I can tolerate riding in 45-50 degree weather. What should I expect if I end up moving to Ohio?
Is it safe to say you can enjoy your rides generally from March through October?
I rode for 49 months straight until February 2014. Weather didn't get me but a heart attack did. You can do a lot of riding in Ohio if you prepare for it. I do not use heated gear either.

It is my first V-twin bike and it has taken some getting used to. I had to move on from the K1200GT because the ergonomics just did not work for my hips and knees anymore. I find that I can go all day on the XR without pain which is what I want in a bike at this point of my life. I really like the extra room in the bags. I think I can get everything that I had in both bags of the GT in one bag on the Victory. I think that the bike handles well and has a nice comfortable air ride. I like that it is not obnoxiously load like a lot of v-twins.
The things that I am not nuts about are the air management and the lack of power. I get helmet buffeting at highway speeds which can be annoying. There are deflectors and such to deal with it but I have not decided if I like the looks of them. The bike has plenty of power and will get up an go but it is not the same as cranking that inline 4 to the redline.

The Triple Nickel is just one of plenty of great riding around here. Check out the WINDY9.com. There is a correction though. Recently the Triple Nickel Diner opened in Chesterhill, on the edge of Morgan and Athens counties. It features local, seasonal food, grass fed beef, pastured pork, and free range chicken, and don't forget the Craft Brewers of Athens Jackie O's,, Little Fish Brewery, and Devil's Kettle.RadRider - there are a lot of great roads in southeast Ohio, easy to get to. The triple nickel (Rt 555) is a great ride. You can also catch either Rt 664 or 93 down to the caves (Old Man's Cave , Ash Cave) are great day rides. You'll probably going to go to a college football game at a university up on High Street - ride your bike, no parking pass needed (but don't tell anyone).
Enjoy
