Winter Riding

I have every intention of ryding through the entire Winter if possible. Putting a Kuhmo Easta AST tire on the back in the next month that provides a little grip on snow but not much. As far as the temperature, it's all about layering. Put some air wings on last week that help a ton with wind on my legs. I've ridden snowmobiles 70+ MPH in -43 degrees before in the Rockies so plenty of cold weather gear on hand. Only difference I see is no need for an avalanche beacon. Snow or ice covered roads will be the main problems. On those days the truck will be my transportation but I doubt I'll be doing as much joy ryding in the winter. Who really does?

Rode to work for the first time yesterday wearing camo coveralls. I was toasty the entire ryde.

Lookin' forward to ridin' until it snows or ices. Then the salt comes & I garage it until dry roads return. God bless the frenchman that decided to put the heated grips on the RT.
Of course there are dry road winter days as well.

I concur with PL and Budro. I'll ride to work til the roads ice. Not too concerned with temperature, as the heated handgrips and my winter ski/snowmobile togs should be good enough for the 12 miles I need to travel to work. After all, we're on a BRrrrrrP!
