No Harley riders out there! (all cold regions)

kcaja1 · November 3rd, 2011, 01:25 PM

I wonder why? (sarcasm)...

when it gets cold around here big cc cruisers and me are all thats left

Still warm enough during the day, but pretty damn freezing cold at night. Still rideable.

No Harley riders in the rain, though.

Now I just have to figure out a way to get all those 50cc scooters off the street.

Tons of all types of riders here, in below freezing temps and the rain (not at the same time lol)

Same here in RI, and most of this week they've been riding more than me.

38* here @ 6am, same story. I guess out of the 1000's of bikes in this year round riding city there are only a handful of true riders.....kind of funny.

Same temp here today; not stopping until the road condition makes me stop (meaning accumulation of snow or ice on road).

It's raining today. As far as motorcyclists go, I've seen a few cruisers around, but 0 sport bikes.
I don't ride in the rain neither, so I don't blame anyone for not wanting to ride their bikes out in the rain, especially since CA drivers tend to suck more than usual once the wet weather comes by.

Last weekend after the freaky snow storm here on the East Coast I rode in to work the next day.

It was still pretty cold and the roads were covered with road salt.

I passed a a guy on a H-D, waiting at a red, going the opposite direction. When he saw me he looked so excited to see another biker on such day. He waved and gave me a big smile. (No helmet of course.)

I gave him a thumbs up and chuckled to myself.

I got my endorsement at the tail end of the riding season, then I caught the riding bug hardcore, ain't no way some stupid cold weather's gonna stop me from riding when I've only been going for 2 months thats like a tease!! Finally got some decent cold weather gloves, now I have complete winter gear (well if you count rain gear pants over jeans :P)
