My temp gauge also reads 'fast' by the same amount....no matter tho, I won't be entering either the Frozen Nuts' or 'Roasted Nuts' contests, at this stage of the game I need kerosene socks to help keep the ants off my candy a**!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

We have a friend in our dinner club that is alergic to nuts. When we have a dish that has nuts in the receipe, we have to make 2 versions... and guess what we nicknamed our friend!!!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
Cold ... just cold:roflblack:

It'll be in the high 20's to low 50's all week here, so unfortunately I'm not in the running! I'd love to see if the Spyder temp gauge will go negative, though.

Hey guys.
Neat thread, but yep, have to be careful out there everyone! Even if there is no snow on the roads in freezing temperatures we'll all have to watch for black ice and other slippery sections that can creep up on you.
If you ride in these types of conditions, you do so at your own risk, of course. But if you do, here are a few tips:
* Keep more then the usual distance between the vehicles ahead and behind us, as they may need more room to slow/stop if they hit some slippery spots.
* Keep up the head-checks to take notice of more of what is around us while riding in these types of conditions.
* Be weary of your core temperature and feelings in hands, toes and all over. Cold can render you having less dexterity, thus less control. If you are actually cold, get warmed up! I know all the little cafes in these parts with great hot chocolate and soup.
* If you find yourself heading out in conditions outside your comfort level, do not ride - wait for better conditions.
* Cold can be a major distraction, so if you are distracted that you are cold, your focus leaves the road. Get off the road and warm up.
* Keep your eyes looking all around you, but look ahead at what could be coming up in these conditions - snow in front of someone's drive way, snow or ice lingering or missed by the snowplow on on/off ramps, secondary and side roads vs. main thoroughfares.
* Be Careful!

I ride everyday in Newfoundland (except for when there is too much snow/ice on the roads), and never beyond my comfort level. While this is not the coldest I've rode, here is a shot from my 'long way around' to the grocery store for some fresh fixing for dinner yesterday morning:
However, I have ridden in colder, down to -20C (-4F), which a windchill of -28C (-18F), described here on the http://en-us.spyder.brp.com/blog/po...22c3-4efb-98b0-9e950103f95b&Year=2011&Month=2 -- BRP's Spyder Blog from 2011. But I do not have a photo of the dash from the week in that cold belt.
An old photo from this very blog:
However, it it worth suggesting: Consider how you feel on a damp cold day vs. a crisp cold day. The humidity plays a big role in how we feel the cold. We have damp/wet cold winters here. It can feel much colder then it is, because of the damp air and humidity, imho. This effect multiplies when considering windchill and a cloudy vs. sunny day.
So, arntufun, while my lowest -20C (-4F), it is not documented in photo form, only in the written word in the 2011 BRP Blog.
Cheers from frosty Newfoundland

Pretty sure I got this one , -57 degrees celsius with the wind chill, pretty much all last week. Sorry no pics, Spyder said up yours ( even in heated garage ). Beat that.

I too, would also like to see how low the temp guage would go, but my ryde would not even start in a heated garage....
This just begs for a like contest ... but at the other end of the temperature scale. But I'm afraid to name it
It wasn't unusual to be in triple digits last summer.

I road through Death Valley in July and August last year. I hit 124 of the Thermometer, That was a hot one. I pulled into Vegas at it was 106.... At 530pm. It was still 98 Degree's at 1030!!!
