Brrrrrr!!!!

[Netminder]

Went for a short ride today and as I was riding it started to snow! What the heck! Wasn't much, but still too early for me! My wife was not on the back of the RT so I got to open it up a bit, (not while it was snowing)so I gunned it and brought the RPM's up quick and went through all 5 gears and was at 120 KM per hour before I knew it, which is about 75 mph! Sure felt like it didn't take very long to get there. Does any one know how long it takes the Spyder to go from 0-60? Anyway it sure was fun except for the snow part!:yes::yes::yes:. Might have to go out solo more often. :thumbup:( if she lets me!) first time went through all the gears that fast, very accelerating!!

Very Jealous! Surprised more because the last two years we had no snow here in Quebec until mid December. Must be real nice to ride all year around ? Been reading your posts and hope you get the issues resolved soon, understand your frustration!

Right there with ya! Started snowing and sleeting here in VT yesterday. Supposed to be in the 60's by Monday. Gotta love this place! Freakville USA!

[Bob Denman]

Nice and sunny down here in the Catskills; but the thermometer only tickled 26 this morning... :shocked:

[ARtraveler]

Cool, low 30's and cloudy today. Going to get in one more ride today. The weatherman is predicting rain/snow for Monday and Tuesday.

[Mr. White]

Gentlemen, what is the snow thing you speak of?.....Oh, yes, I remember now, it snowed here once in 1986. Everyone stayed home for a week. I hope it does not happen again soon. It was horrible. Wal-Mart and the saloons were closed!

:spyder2:

[boborgera]

I just got back from a ride to Narrowsburg NY, Not too cold at 630 am it was 21 degrees, A little later i went up to Honesdale PA Then home 198 mile round trip, It did go up to 45/50 by the afternoon, Perfect riding weather.:thumbup:

[Bob Denman]

:agree: It just touched 50 here for the day too! :thumbup:
Time to settle in for some NASCAR racing tonight! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_5_11.gif

[ARtraveler]

Update: its snowing already, and starting to stick on the ground. We did not get out and about quick enough to beat the snow.

[Bob Denman]

Time to put them away??? :shocked: http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_19_5.gif

[ARtraveler]

Will depend on whether or not the snow melts off the road when its done. :spyder2: does not like driving on snow or ice in my opinion.

[SPYD3R]

I went out Thursday morning on a "test" ride to see how many layers and what gear I need for cooler weather (Skyline Drive next weekend!). It was about 40F when I started, got up to 75 during the day and was back down to the 40s that evening. I met up with some friends for dinner. I had a on light fleece and put on my Can-Am Caliber jacket, a stranger said "It's not snowing, yet!!" I replied that it was a motorcycle jacket and that I was riding home. We got out side and he was surprised at how chilly/damp it was.

It was down in the 30s last night/this morning. I had to the turn the heat on in the house. We've had two mild winters in a row, everyone is saying this one will be a bad one for our area. C'mon mother nature, I just bought a Spyder! Cut it out!

BTW, are those heated handgrips awesome or what?!?!

Noooooo! I don't want to yet! LOL! We did get out today it was only 44 F but we dressed warm and it was fine.we did about 90 miles or so. We have a long week end Nov.11 (remembrance day) and I am really hoping we have an Indian summer, to get a bit more riding in! I think that will be the week end the RT gets put away. We have until Dec.15 here in Quebec, that is when winter tires must be on by law. So if the weather permits.:ohyea:For those of you in the warm climates, enjoy the ride! And for those in the same climate as me, why do we put up with the white crap:gaah:

:thumbup: I agree !

[ARtraveler]

It's not global warming. It's that weather alteration project (HARP) by Glen Allen, and up by Eileson (Fairbanks) that they are working on. It was on Conspiracy Theory while the show lasted. But we can't talk about that here. :roflblack:

Mine would be in storage an extra 2 months if that was the case!:banghead: They are part ski doo after all!

[billpowell]

BRRRRR to us is 70's, supposed to be 71 this coming Friday, right in the middle of Daytona biketoberfest, we might freeze!!!!!!!!!!

I'm rooting for global warming too! :2thumbs: If NYC goes 20 feet underwater; it'll just make for a nice habitat for the baitfish... :thumbup:

And NOT buying so :cus: much fuel oil last year was a welcome relief!

6.6 gal.:roflblack:

Tell me about it on the gas tank size, If you like to make some noise taking off like I do(when I can), you visit the gas station about twice a week.:shocked:

[Bob Denman]

So that's what; maybe $30 bucks a week in Spyder feed? :2thumbs:

Yep, I ride my Yamaha Tmax 500cc about twice a week and buy gas once every 3 weeks.

[BajaRon]

I have discovered the problem!

Yes it is! I have a place in the Laurentians and I tell you it is very beautiful,lots of lakes, mountains etc. Just that the winters can be long and cold, but even then it is beautiful in its own way. I just prefer warm weather and riding on the road rather then on snow.

[SethO]

they will run in the snow great with a snow tire and sandbags under your wheelchair bracket. The spyder pulls really well in the winter but 100 mph at -40f is damn cold no matter what you wear or how much of your body you can feel. its NOT the same as riding sled, you move around less and you are on top of the of the road not down in the ditch or trees.

at Rs will do about 4ish on the drag strip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HuHvFUuwZ4

you will need to get the right gear to run in the cold without dying but I do it and I can only feel 45% of my body so it can be done way better than I do it for sure.
Snow up here is gone for now but we had a few weeks of 30f up here.

Rain at 44f on the temp gauge on my 350 mile trip was butt.
