-51F riding video, yeah its not the coldest ride I have had this year

[SethO]

coldest day according to the news, not the coldest day I have ridden this year, I have to get the snow tire and gauntlets on the new bike (have to weld a nut in the bar ends to put the brackets on so they don't hit the brake and shifter at speed)

its been the coldest December up here I can remember, its been below zero for over 3 weeks.

Ok, you win! :bowdown:

This coming from a guy in Alberta means that he is the winner. I was in Fort McMurray, Alberta (5 hours north of Edmonton) in '94 when it got to -45C (or -45F its too close to tell the difference) and that was cold, but I did not ride anything - my job was working at an oil refinery and I had to do visual inspection of processing units, only a few hours each day.

Seth Buddy you are for sure crazier than me, I was watching this this morning on Facebook formulating this comment in my mind when Lily chimed in from across the room "he is crazier than you" so it must be true if we were thinking the same thing at the same time.

"Weld a nut in the bar ends" don't bother Seth you've already got a nut holding the bars. :roflblack: You are my hero!

 

[Chupaca]

Yikes..!!

I've done cold but....you..my friend have gone way way beyond..!! :yikes: gotta give the roadster credit too..!!

 

[Bob Denman]

I've seen some thermometers, that look as if it gets cold enough; the temperature will start back out on the high side and work it's way back down...
:shocked: But they don't...:shocked:

[ARtraveler]

Hats off to you. I am guessing you are going to remain the all time champion on this one. :firstplace:

Nice ride, do you have studded tires?

I do have a studded snow tire on the shelf but its been so damn cold here my daily riding around has been limited and for riding to work and back it has not been needed.

I should say that if there is more than 4-6 inches of snow on the road (depending on what is underneath it) I can not ride my spyder, they nanny goes crazy and when you are snow plowing its hard to get going and I had one day last year were I had so much snow and ice build up that it pushed the belt off the rear pulley.
