Mariner Fan Posted December 13, 2008 #1 Posted December 13, 2008 In Indiana........ Looks like we will have an opportunity to ride due to one day of warm weather. Man, I'm hoping that this is true. I'm not sure where I'll go, but I might just point the bike somewhere and see where it takes me. As I write this it's about 18 degrees but Sunday will be almost 50 degrees...hopefully...

midnightventure Posted December 13, 2008 #5 Posted December 13, 2008 I rode to work here in Mo. Monday. Plan to go for a ride tomorrow. Just have to decide which bike.

dynodon Posted December 13, 2008 #7 Posted December 13, 2008 I was thinking the same thing, ride on Sunday, but now there is rain in the forcast, but Saturday is supposed to be low 40's and that will be good enough. Roads are clear enough if you just watch out for the hidden slick spots, most roads are fully clear, just some parking lots, side roads have some icy patches. I will try to get out for something, even if for just a few minutes.
pegscraper Posted December 13, 2008 #8 Posted December 13, 2008 It's supposed to be raining here Sunday. I did get out yesterday though. I may get out Saturday too. At least it's suppose to be sunny here that day.
Caveman Posted December 13, 2008 #9 Posted December 13, 2008 Looks like 4 day's of 70 to 75 f here in Mississippi. Yahooo!!!

E-Fishin-C Posted December 13, 2008 #11 Posted December 13, 2008 There's 3 feet of snow on my roof and on Sunday they are telling us its going to be 39.2 F and on Monday it will be 10.4 F One Big ******* Mess
pegscraper Posted December 13, 2008 #13 Posted December 13, 2008 Geez, Lynn, I hope my nice window of opportunity is not ruined by rain! Well, maybe you'll have some luck Sunday that we won't have. Today here, it's supposed to be 41 and sunny. It's only 20 at the moment, but I made myself a heated jacket this year, so I'll be nice and toasty. I'll be heading out in a few minutes.
Roadhand Posted December 13, 2008 #14 Posted December 13, 2008 May be a riding day here. 70+ for Saturday & Sunday. Early this coming week will get down to the 40s Come on down!
Dano Posted December 13, 2008 #15 Posted December 13, 2008 Got home at 3 this AM from a 40 hour 1700 mile round trip to Baton Rouge and back......... There was 5" of snow on I-12 between Baton Rouge and New Orleans Thursday nite on my way down! Was beautiful down there yesterday, though. Had just t-shirt on by 10, left at 1 to head home. Gonna try to get time to get the bike out for a short one today or tomorrow!
BoomerCPO Posted December 13, 2008 #16 Posted December 13, 2008 Saturday in Connecticut.......Temp at 30F @ high Noon. Lots of water/ice on the roads from the soaking we got Thursday night/Friday. Sunday.....Temp may get close to 40F....Ice should be melted on the roads. Perfect weather for a long ice cream Run IMHO.
pegscraper Posted December 13, 2008 #17 Posted December 13, 2008 I had a real nice ride today. I don't think we're going to get anywhere the 41* that they said, maybe half that, and it doesn't look like we're going to see the sun at all today like they said we would. But the roads are clear, and it's a real nice ride. With my heated jacket, I'm nice and comfortably warm. I pulled into a gas station at one point. A pickup pulled in behind me, the guy got out, and I overheard him grumble to someone else about how dang cold it was today. I turned around and looked at him, and he had more layers on than I did, and he's riding inside of a truck. I just laughed. Maybe he needs a heated jacket for his truck. Maybe I should go back out and ride around some more.
BoomerCPO Posted December 13, 2008 #18 Posted December 13, 2008 I rode the scoot back from the Shop today. Dodged ice spots all over the road home for the 15 mile ride and in some areas I had to just ride through praying. The heated jacket liner & gloves made it comfortable.....the ice spots convinced me to stay home for the rest of the day. My Winter suffering has just begun.............
Mariner Fan Posted December 13, 2008 Author #19 Posted December 13, 2008 It's in the low 30's here. I rode around town just to change the gas in the carbs. Still hoping the weather will warm up tomorrow.

waterbug Posted December 14, 2008 #21 Posted December 14, 2008 I am planning on getting out if the weather isnt to bad sunday and do some ridding myself, might have to make a trip to your area over there Bob or who knows were. If I dont see you and you get out have a great ride!!
silvercrew Posted December 14, 2008 #22 Posted December 14, 2008 I wanted to go for a ride on christmas day but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. -27 here right now and snow drifts that go on forever. Only thing for me is snotscicles.
waterbug Posted December 14, 2008 #23 Posted December 14, 2008 I rode along time ago on christmas eve on yr and it was so cold that our eyes would water and freeze by our ears. Not fun but we did have fun.
Yammer Dan Posted December 14, 2008 #24 Posted December 14, 2008 Hey Gharlie!! At least you aren't wondering wheather you can get out or not. Unless you can put skis on one. Snow mobile?

I know that Donna would sure love one. How do you control the heat? Did you mount a thermostat or rheostat of some kind? Come on....spill the beans! Joe
