WV Invigoration

[MotownCruiser]

My wifes car is in the shop and believe it or not, she is driving my car. What a great excuse to unplug the battery tender, throw on a couple of layers of WARM clothing, crank up the grip warmers, and head off to work. It was a balmy 28 degrees when I left home, but what a wonderful experience - hope her car is gone for a few days while the weather remains dry. Anyone else ride in cold weather?

I don't, but apparently many people do. Kudos to you, sir!

Yup, as long as the roads are dry (even sometimes not) we're usually on them

:agree:Same here for this morning, 28F on the ryde in, and like you said .... Invigorating :yes:

Just a suggestion, BajaRon (site sponsor) sells a FirstGear Thermo Riding Suit, that I (& many others) HIGHLY Recommend. We've had one since the winter of 2010 & ever since, have road all year long, barring those days that are just too dangerous due to Ice/Snow/Torrential Rains, but otherwise, if the suns a shine'n, its time to ryde :clap:

Here's a link to a review we did on the suit back in 2011 if you care to read- Post #10 on this thread:

As long as the roads are dry, I'll ride. I also recommend the Firstgear Thermo Suit. I bought one big enough to wear over my summer riding gear. My Spyder loves riding in the cold! I'm going on an all-day ryde this Saturday, up into Pennsylvania, through the Michaux State Forest.

I ryde until the snow and ice come to my road--then it gets parked. This year I was able to ryde until 11/8.

28 is about at the limit of what my sense of discretion will allow... :shocked:
But it sure is fun!!
Lots of hot cocoa after the ride... :thumbup:

Peppermint Patties (hot chocolate, peppermint schnapps, whipped cream topping, and a cherry)are even better. :cheers:

I usually have a cup of coffee when I roll in the door at work, but not today - I was WIDE awake!

 

[Bob Denman]

You're lucky... my commute is only about 30 feet! :gaah:

It rarely gets to freezing levels down here, so if road is dry I'm on it! With such balmy weather a good windproof jacket, turn in the Baker air wings, good gloves & boots and turn on the heated grips are all I need!

How well do you hold up in the Summer heat? :shocked: When we're in the mid-eighties in July; how hot is it getting in your neighborhood? :dontknow:
