The side streets are still frozen solid around here, but I did sit on my bike in the garage and squeezed the levers. Does that count?

Really I was just playing. And I am not a good person to contribute to this thread. I barely ride street anymore and was always blessed with being comfortable even after long layoffs. But this is a great topic and I am surprised more people havent responded.
Thanks. I thought more would respond too. I guess they are too busy in the OT section or they have me on ignore. Oh well.

As far as not riding on the street, I do very little of that too. It seems to be a full year before I get back to the track so I have to kind of go through some old "track" drills before getting into it.

The most time I haven't been on the bike for is about 2 weeks. Not much of a need for refresher exercises. I'd like to practice low speed maneuvers regardless, but there are only a couple places and times I can do that without getting in anyone's way.
