FROG MAN Posted January 1, 2008 #1 Posted January 1, 2008 I know some of you will take a New Years Day ride. Were getting snow with a high of 35 today. :snow2: I doubt it mine will start at 35.
Yammer Dan Posted January 1, 2008 #2 Posted January 1, 2008 Don't look like riding weather but back up to 50s Sunday I think. Just can't get days off to go with temps. SPRING IS ON ITS WAY!!
Moakster Posted January 1, 2008 #3 Posted January 1, 2008 Hey Frog Man, It's going to be a high of 43 today in Ft.Worth with a blue sky. Come down South and ride all year long. Well, maybe not February, gets cold and wet then.
FROG MAN Posted January 1, 2008 Author #5 Posted January 1, 2008 The wife likes twisties better then twisters. She wouldn't go anywhere near the flat land.
ADC Posted January 1, 2008 #6 Posted January 1, 2008 Weather man is calling for a high of 60 here today but it's going to get cold later in the week,I'd better try to get a ride in today. Arthur

I beter get all the riding in that I can if my wife gets transfered to Dover Air Force Base I'll be in the snow this time next year. Snow in the winter and a new 07 RSV in the garage that I don't have to work on what am I going to do.............
Terry Richardson Posted January 1, 2008 #9 Posted January 1, 2008 Man Frog.... I would never rub in the fact its going to be mid 50s and sunny down here in Florida. Only white stuff Im going to see is on the beaches as I pass by them on my first ride of 08 ....but dont worry.... I would never ever ever rub it in... ok..maybe just a little...lol.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!:rotf:
bongobobny Posted January 1, 2008 #10 Posted January 1, 2008 I'm loking out the window and see a Winter wonderland out there with the white stuff coming down pretty steady. Looks like I'll be a shovelin' this afternoon. Helluva way to start the New Year...
Freebird Posted January 1, 2008 #11 Posted January 1, 2008 -2 F here in Hayward, WI today. Also, I'm missing my traditional New Years Day ride for the first time in many years. Guess I'll just have to do it on a snowmobile.
Squidley Posted January 1, 2008 #12 Posted January 1, 2008 -2 F here in Hayward, WI today. Also, I'm missing my traditional New Years Day ride for the first time in many years. Guess I'll just have to do it on a snowmobile. I'll Ride a few miles for you here in TX today buddy...it's the least I can do for you BTW...Thanks for the mass email and surprise M&E on Saturday, we had a great time
Snarley Bill Posted January 1, 2008 #13 Posted January 1, 2008 getting ready to leave on a good new years ride in about an hour.wish it was on the bike.
Ozark Posted January 1, 2008 #14 Posted January 1, 2008 Twenty-nine degrees in Northeast Arkansas this morning. I just wish the doctor would okay riding today. I've been couped up in this house for two months. Short ride would definitely pick up my spirits. Oh well, spring is just around the corner. Hope to see much more of the group this year. Jim & Patricia
Dano Posted January 1, 2008 #15 Posted January 1, 2008 21 degrees, dusting snow, 30 mph winds---- I guess if I had skis on the bike I could give it a try-----, would be a VENTURE!!!!! Dan
Yama Mama Posted January 1, 2008 #16 Posted January 1, 2008 Do not give up Froggie! The snow can melt and a big warm front could just blow into your area. That is what we are hoping for. Peggy:fingers-crossed-emo:snow2:
Brake Pad Posted January 1, 2008 #17 Posted January 1, 2008 The wife & I went out for breakfast this morning on the bike. Warm gentle breezes, The sun beating down on our faces, crystal clear blue skys. tooling down the back roads. Ah, live is good................ Temp In Miramar, Florida 81 degree's This is way I moved to Florida, 16 years ago. No more putting the bike away, no more shelveing snow, No dark gray skys for months at a time. I don't care theirs 4.1 million people in my county. I don't mind sharing the Sun Burns:stirthepot:
cmiles3 Posted January 2, 2008 #18 Posted January 2, 2008 Just back from a short ride. Had to meet my daughter to give her the new sticker for her tags. Only 10 miles; 27 degrees here tonight. Rode yesterday, in the 30's. Been riding on and off the whole month, except when the ice & snow were on the ground.
RSV Angel Posted January 2, 2008 #19 Posted January 2, 2008 Out of respect for you Froggy I refrained from going on my traditional New years day ride. I didn't want to be one of those people who would rub in your face the fact that I was riding when you could not. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' 'Not to mention I had to work and it was 25 here today and getting colder tomorrow! But I did it for you!
FROG MAN Posted January 2, 2008 Author #20 Posted January 2, 2008 I got the 4 wheel drive started and warming up. Took Mamamo to work this evening got to pick her up at midnight. I offered to take her in on the trike but no takers. 25 degrees and still snowing here.
sarges46 Posted January 2, 2008 #21 Posted January 2, 2008 We (us and Marilyns family) spent the whole afternoon on the lake. Little brother brought out his quad and cleared a skating rink and we played a little hockey. Warmed up in the ice fishing shack.(the kids did) and did some tobogganing. It was a good day. Went back the their place for some hot chili and dogs plus some left over sweets! going to bed now....gotta work in the wee hours. Oh ya I forgot...it was minus 21c and windy...probably -28 ish....that is -brrrr for you southern folks! Happy New Year everyone!
petekadish Posted January 2, 2008 #22 Posted January 2, 2008 This is what greeted my 2008 New Year's Day Ride. Oh yea! It was about 10 degrees this morning too. Sigh! At least my kerosene heater works. Be Warm! Pete.
86er Posted January 2, 2008 #23 Posted January 2, 2008 Well, Froggie, I rode to a New Year's Eve Party so I was able to ride at the end of '07 and the beginning of '08! It was a balmy 35 as I rode home in the morning! Tonight (Or, I guess last night) I rode to a friends to watch football. I leathered up to come home 'cause it had dropped to 25F. But even so..........IT WAS GREAT!!!!
Just-Jack Posted January 2, 2008 #24 Posted January 2, 2008 So the only riding that we did was to go over to the storage place and start the bike I would not attempt to ride with this much snow on the ground [ATTACH]14344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14345[/ATTACH] Maybe when the temps get up to 50 this weekend but you know how Michigan weather is wait 5 minutes it will change Have fun and be safe Jessie and Jack:2132:
Double D Posted January 2, 2008 #25 Posted January 2, 2008 4 of us did a one hour ride on the first. Started out at 38 degrees but dropped to around 30 when we fininshed. Spitted snow for awhile but at least I got to ride.
