I rode all last winter.

Karen and I rode to Asheville last winter, and I grabbed a towel from our room and told her I was going down to wipe the dew off the seat. When I got down there, it was ice instead of water, but I didn't tell her.

It was a little brisk that morning, but it felt great not being caged

I had to go to Home Depot this evening, temp was 45* give or take with a brisk wind.

 

Chaps over jeans, sweat shirt/leather jacket, gloves and sneakers along with a beanie helmet.......With all of this plastic in front of me I hardly noticed the weather, man do I like this bike.

 

People were looking at me in the store like I was from another planet. It'll get a lot colder before I stop riding this mobile home on two wheels. That or the salt trucks will stop me.

 

I saw three other riders out without windshield/fairings and them boys looked cooooollddd.

Moped and I rode to Youngstown, Ohio once when it was 40 in the morning. It seemed as though the only body parts that were hard to keep warm were are fingers. We had a fleece cover over our mouths. At that time we did not have chaps, so our thighs got cold. But of course, the temp keep going up as we traveled on our way there, so we were just fine. I know how people stare at us when we have our cold weather gear on, I think they are just jealous. Don't you?

Usually is 40 -45 degrees in the fall when i stop riding and then in the spring its not until the first good rain to wash all the salt off the roads. all my bikes are over 20 years old and all in great shape. I consider that because of my not riding too early in the spring.

I totally agree with that. Ron watches the road and the cages. I watch the springtime gravel, sand and salt piles in the curves. Way to dangerous to risk it. Although it is hard sometimes when the Spring thaw comes along.
