• 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.

Still ryding to work the temp was 27 yesterday and 31 today when I left the house hope it warms up a little
 
Great..!!

die hard...with the right gear it's nit bad at all. Hope it warms up a bit for you..!! :pray:
 
yup, works only a 4 mile trip for me, yesterday was the 1st time this season I had to clear the light dusting of snow off the bike b4 starting it up, looks like the rest of the week gonna warm up. when it gets too icy ill switch to the cage.
 
Still ryding in BC, too. Life in the Pacific North West is OK if you can stand a little bit of rain.
 
Ryde safely and enjoy. Mine used to be a 40 mile round trip commute. Like others said, dress proper, and watch out for black ice this time of year.
 
I would still like to ride this time of year (snow/rain excluded) but they pour so much chemical on the the road up here it takes to much time to clean up the spyder when I get home. I hate even driving our cars in it.
 
Cold here in Cali...

It is unseasonably cold here in California (30-32 degrees) in the evenings through the morning, but I too am still ryding!
As stated by another poster, if you have the right gear, it's not too bad. I do have to admit though, that my SUV is starting to look more appealing these mornings...
 
Dam evin if i had a job to go to thats to cold for me, Here its in the 50s & 60s in the mornings and upper 80s in the afternoon just right for a nice ride be safe and dress warm.

Went to work on my RT half the time last week. Cold weather gear IS your friend. Only real problem I had is my visor fogging up. (Been using an anti-fog spray I get at REI called "CatCrap", with mixed results)

Also took my daughter on a long ride last sunday when the temperature never got above 30. It was fun, but she promptly took a nap when we got home. :)

Get a pinlock visor for your helmet and add an insert to it - that'll at least keep your main field of vision clear in all but the worst weather.

I use joy soap cheaper and makes your helmet smell lemony fresh
 
First Gear Thermo Suit

Rode into work this morning temp in the high 30s. I wore my new First Gear Thermo Suit and was about as comfortable as I could be, I am quite sure I can go down to much lower temps. Actually wore the suit over a Suit and tie. Very cozy and the suit didn't wrinkle. :yes:

Gonna have to put a hit out on you...leave the RT to your lovely lady :-)

Hey I would rather wear shorts and a T-shirt, and I bet I would be just as warm. Love using the car pool lane.
 
You must be young

when I was young and had a new bike I did that kind of stuff
but not now, we even put chains on the rear wheel and
tried to go to Lake Tahoe when it was snowing over
Donner Pass... Stupid Huh...
