TIL I’m rich because I own a $2000 motorcycle, and that it’s only a toy for use in the summer. I can’t believe that someone just mansplained riding motorcycles in poor weather. Rain gear and insulated clothing has existed for a long time.
Sucks in a fun way if you’re a certain type of person. I’ve ridden through a lightning storm where my motorcycle couldn’t go past 55mph due to a headwind. It was exciting, and super fun.
And how many other bikers do you see around you when you ride, 1 or 2 maybe, it’s a niche hobby not a means of daily transportation for most, go visit any Asian country to see what using bikes as a daily transportation looks like, the streets are chock full of bikers and it’s a mix of men and women, young and old
I wasn’t saying it was a common thing to see others riding (which it is, as long as there isn’t snow on the road), I was just saying people who ride aren’t rich just because they own a motorcycle, and that it’s possible to ride in the winter.
I’m not sure what your point is about Asian countries, I am aware that two wheeled vehicles are a means of transportation.

Plus heated gear and equipment exist. You can absolutely ride a motorcycle in Winter, it just kinda sucks.

So, you don’t live where frosted pavement and black ice are a thing? And temperatures seldom dip below freezing.
I do, temperatures are often below freezing in the winter.
