(-7) degrees Celsius is 19.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Good enough for me!

[Derek Paisley]

Riding to work today!
I get too jealous when I read about all my SL friends down south still being able to ride.

It's only a 10 minute ride for me. No worries!

It is a cool 58 here this morning in Texas. Suppose to hit 71 and sunny today. May take Spyder for a short ride but need to bundle up good. :roflblack:

 

[boborgera]

That's the way to go.:thumbup: Ride when you can, There be plenty of time to be cold when your in the box!
Dress for the conditions and you'll be fine, Just this Wednesday (15%f) i rode 160 miles.

Went out to take a quick pic! Can't wait for all this snow to melt!

The look of amazement I got from others on the road this morning. Priceless!

You do not worry about road salt?
Or do you have an effective way of dealing with it?

Re: Salt.

Albeit, the parking lot you see me in looks saturated in Salt; the roads are clear.

It's rained here in Toronto the past few days and has washed most of the road salt away.

I guess that my ignorance is going to surface here... pps:
I was under the impression that you weren't allowed out on the streets before March 15th unless your vehicle had snow tires on it...
Or is that a peculiarity in a specific Province?

Hate to say it but I wish it would rain here some. Not enough snow here to ride the sleds, but NY state uses all kinds of salt on the roads to keep them ice free:banghead:. I was hoping you had a magic cure for road salt

 

[Jeriatric]

So, it's a little chilly out - it is!!

I admire ya mate......ride as often as you can!

Riding in the south. The coolest temps I've riden in this year / 28 degrees (below sea level here so temps below that are not abnormal). Unlike you northerners tho, we don't have to worry about salt. But when in the mountains the north slope roads are 'sanded' (heavily) so ya really gotta stay out of the throttle. :doorag:

 

[boborgera]

My cure for salt on the road is to ride and ignore it, Trike's aren't trophy's that you hang on the wall there made to ride. Now if it's too cold to ride and you use salt on the road for the reason not to ride,:dontknow:

The opinions expressed here are mine, Yours might differ.:roflblack:

That's a law in Quebec and maybe some other provinces but not in Ontario.

-7 C sounds so much worse then 20 F. that is my normal lower limit, but have been known to ride at lower tempetures for PGR Missions.
The "sound" is kinds like being told I am more then 3/4 of a Century Old (78).
Have fun and ride

I'll take it slow going home.. Don't want to give anyone a heart attack on the road. :>

I'll check in later when I get home safely.

[ARtraveler]

Its also 20 degrees above here. We received about an inch of snow again last night. To icey and snowy for me to ride yet. Still counting the days to April 1st and hoping that will be ride time. 37 days. :thumbup:
