• 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.

who is still riding?

I am still riding to work every day in North Branch Minn And I drive the plow trucks so I am out before the plows are out. How much snow do you have Seth?

got about a foot of snow, the roads are icy as snot in areas, the sand bags are helping out. I finally hit triples on the run to work yesterday, too many variables before that. Once we get a day that gets about 20f I think it will get the roads black again. I am riding at 630pm and 6am so it pretty much the coldest times of the day/

I can believe there are this many northern people riding I would have put this on the normal area.

Glad forest got in on this, 40 in the morning maybe, you FL riders are smart to live down there.
 
Rode Saturday, Sunday, and Monday with temps between mid 40's and mid 60's. Actually some very nice riding days.

Seth, you and tatt2r and Groundeffect and others that ride in those conditions amaze me. I have ridden in the mid 30's and froze my tail off and I have ridden dirt bikes in a few inches of snow. But just the thought of riding a street bike in below freezing temps with snow on the roads scares me to death. Y'all are truly in a class by yourselves.

Still Riding in SW Ontario

The snow is falling heavily about an hour up the 401, but other than temperatures hovering around 30 degrees F the roads are still clear here and I am still riding.

Plan on a three hour drive up the 401 to Toronto on Friday if the temperature is above 30 degrees and there is no snow forecasted for the snow belt area around London Ontario.
 
I rode yesterday. This morning 40* high 50's w/wind for the rest of this week and next week. Then back to normal 70* 80*:yes:
 
the snow tire issue ran into a snag of not having the bead be able to be seated. Still working on it but they place is closed right now.

so I did not ride today.
 
You guys up North are tough as they come. My rule is that if it's cold enough to need heated gear, then it's too cold. But here in Southern-most California, want to guess if I am still riding??? Was in 60s and 70s today. Kjen and I took a leisure ride in the mountains. About 70 miles of mostly 3rd gear and 35-40 mph. Did a lot of gazing and stopping and pics. Just a totally fun day.

I don't like the cold, but we ride at least 5 days a week. After the first 50 or so miles of windy mountain riding things usually get better and then I can begin to enjoy the ride; just have to remind myself to relax and DON'T shiver. We went Sunrise Hwy to Julian for apple pie and coffee today. Such a lovely, meandering road with little traffic; retirement is great for doing things midweek thus avoiding clutter on the roads. The weather was clear and valley overlooks were awesome; visibility for miles-I'll try to get my pictures off the camera at some point.
 
got to put my spyder back together but now the roads are getting black again so I can start having more fun.

I am playing roughly a trip january/febuary for 10 days to new mexico and arizona got a friend in serria vista. if anyone is around those areas for a good spirited ride.
 
Still riding in Georgia

I park in the garage so it takes me just the 2 minutes to get rolling on my bike and they is just ot get the wheelchair on and off.

its slower than before I was hurt and takes a little more planning but you can do it.
 
anyone out today and tomorrow has bigger stones than I do, but when the snow clears off in a few days anyone else still on the road?
