How cold will you ride?

JohnL · Post by **JohnL** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 6:24 pm

I have a side mount on my helmet for my Sony HDR AS100. It works fine as it follows my line of sight, and that's mostly what I want to capture.

Probably not strictly legal, but I've seen police motorcyclists with helmet mounts, so I'll take my chances.

I appreciate the slight risk of injury, but again, I'll take my chances

it was only 4 F when I woke up this morning.

It's supposed to be 56 F again by Tuesday.

3°F with light flurries this morning.
OK. I confess I didn't know it was snowing until I saw it in my headlight. But by then I was all layered up and my Gerbing gloves were out of the preheat phase.....plus it seemed too cold to stick....so it was a go to work on the Like200iLX.
Once again, glad it is too dark to see the looks I'm getting from car drivers.

I wish there was a video of that.

I saw I dude on a bike yesterday on my way home from work. No helmet only a knit cap on. 22 degrees F. He must have been cold.

It's warm here but we got 7" of snow last night even though the road is clear already and melting. From this to 55 F by Tuesday. Hopefully, the salt gets washed away with a little rain before then. Been hitting the airguns hard on these off weeks and days.

They got the go ahead to import a new one from the Ukraine we have been begging on for a few years now.

We have also been reserving the best camping sites for the coming warm season where we bring the PCX including a full week in a log home on 4 private acres at Table Rock Lake near Branson, MO. Some of the most scenic riding is right there.

At least he didn't have to worry about brain freeze

45F is about my cut off point personally.

They are saying 60s-70 next week. Finally.

Air gun from the Ukraine! That sounds interesting. Wonder if my Husband knows about this. Will have to check.

We are above freezing right now Might get near 40 F. this weekend. Not sure if we will be able to ride with tons of salt on the roads. Really looking hard at the Honda CTX700N DCT 2015 model. This will allow for expanded adventures in riding.

48 now and 60s starting tomorrow for the next week at least. I think the worst is over here.

I will test ride their CTX700 when it gets a little warmer if they let me.

There are a lot of new bullpups out or coming out. The Wildcat & Impact (FX Sweden), Taipan Mutant (Ukraine), Vulcan (CZ), P12 (China). There are now at least 8 BP manufacturers. Prices are dropping.

It was -1C the morning I tried out my new Alpinestars Mora jacket and Tourmaster Quest pants for the first time, And it was very, very, very warm.

We've been 12-15C highs in the day time the last week. 70F?? That sounds excellent, keep us posted.

Things are just starting to thaw out here in Ohio, and I am picking up my scooter about 30 minutes away. Putting the hog up in a truck is a whole thing, so it looks like my first ride on my new scooter will be 35 degrees F! I am excited, but dreading it. A bittersweet first ride indeed.

I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

I just put a deposit on the 2015 CTX700N DCT. I'm so excited that I couldn't sleep last night.

I'm so tired right now. This morning it was 4 degrees F. Burr! But, better then -20 F. Spring is coming and i'll be riding! Will be wearing my Spidi H2 out superstorm thermo pants until the weather warms up.

@tbln930 - Sent my Husband the name of the Ukraine air gun so he can check it out. He is always inching to get a new air gun.

Deposit?

That sounds serious.

Cool. I think you will love it. Can I ask what their starting price is up there? Which year? You can even pass me on the Forza (but it is fast enough for all of my needs).

The extra weight is really nice on the highway w/o being ridiculously heavy like a Harley which is too heavy to move in the garage.

It's 9:46 am and just hit 55 F. My wife wants to see a new winery in the car this morning leaving this afternoon open for riding. I bet it tops 60 at this rate.

The Taipan isn't quite shipping in quantity yet but the Vulcans are and they are real nice too (top the Edguns and Crickets a bit).

Well it is 66 F and time to head out.
