Jealous.

[blink]

Once again I'm jealous of all those able to ride year long.

while my bike is sad and cold

[saxnbass]

I may go out for you tomorrow and take a picture next to a big public thermometer for you, with my bike next to it, of course.

[greg737]

I rode to my dentist appointment today in Spokane, WA. It's 30F and cloudy. It's gonna have to snow or ice up to make me stop.

[blink]

=[

I would ride but the 2 feet of snow and slush don't make riding fun.

[saxnbass]

Strap a snow shovel to the front of the bike, problem solved.

Maybe this will make you feel a little less jealous. Just had hernia surgery last Thursday. Nin Jette won't be seeing the light of day for a while. Actually shopping around for a battery tender right now. :-(

People (some) in Florida take the good temperatures for advantage. That's the perfect temperature. Not to hot..not to cold.

My Floridian cousins came here to New York and were wearing full blown winter coats in 50 degree weather, because it was "to cold". At these temperatures, most of us are wearing t-shirts and shorts!

Ahh..NY has to seasons. When you can't ride, and when you can!

[Cazper]

I'm sorry for your temperature problems... that is one reason why I refuse to go back to cold weather. I lived in Colorado for 18 years, I've lived in Maryland for about 4 years and Minnesota for 3 years... Minnesota was the worst, -50 is rediculous I love the fact that we only get about 1" of rain a year and the rest of the time it's around 70... now if we could only get the cost of living down here in SoCal everything would be great

[nickjpass]

Why does it cost so much to live there?

Don't forget to start her up for at least 10 minutes once a week. Maybe get some seafoam stabilizer in your gas tank as well

2 feet of snow and slush make riding extra fun! Well, as long as you don't care about the bike, that is.

[nickjpass]

Or your bones.

Don't be too jealous man it's 60 degrees here. FREEZING!!!

[bluepoof]

It's worse to be living in California and still have to winterize the bike!

[6071]

Bring your bike to Indonesia and you can ride for the whole year

[Mountain Dew]

Nighttime it's almost too cold to ride on the highway for me. Probably gets down to 65F at night, but add in the windchill from 65mph.

It's been raining/drizzling constantly for the last week or so though, so not much riding gets done (especially with cheng shin tires. Take off too fast and the front end gets squirrely. Stop too fast and the rear slips out. Definitely not fun.).

[KawiKid860]

Wtf i wish it was 65 here are you kidding?! I've been riding in the 20s and 30s and freezing hardcore wow

[NYC Diesel]

I wish it was 70 here, I'd be riding all night, I took it out this last weekend when it was 32' out and man, what a stupid idea.

Calgary?? Saw that clip on the weather network of the 18=wheeler being blown off the road... Nope, time for you to snowboarding! That was crazy weather you had.

Rode tonight at 1c and had a BBQ for dinner. Lovely. Wouldn't move to a monotone climate for all the gold in the world. Okay, I lied, yes I would. But I would miss the snow and have to move back after I spent the gold on ice racing bikes.

Going through the toughest part of winter right now :P

The other issue with weather is that in summer here it gets up to over 40 C or 104 F

[nezumiamalek]

riding in dry weather above 25 is a breeze

[gfloyd2002]

This thread confuses me. What is this "snow" and "ice" stuff you refer to that seems to attack motorcycles. Must be particularly malicious stuff. Is there a farkle that might help?

I wish it was 65 to. I know your cold pains all to well. its been.icy here so I have not been riding in the morning but this afternoon I will. I love how people complain about 65 when that's a warm day for us LOL. I'm looking forward to the 40 next week LOL. do you use any special fog sprey on you lens?

stop being a little girl...im still riding ...lol

[Lil_Green_Demon]

I think I've said this in every single weather thread, so it's only right I say it here, too:

I love California.

I feel bad for you guys who have to winterize and store away your bikes, but I don't feel your pain.

HAhaha i wish.
There is nothing you can do, or nothing you wouldnt want to do to ride in the winter here.

You'd be dumber than trying to sneak through the white house and not get caught

[KawiKid860]

I wish it was 65 to. I know your cold pains all to well. its been.icy here so I have not been riding in the morning but this afternoon I will.

Lol 65 in my opinion is freezing, I love the summers here when its 80-100. But right now I'd take 65 over the 35 that we have Even the 40s feel warm now! As for my visor, ugh my old helmet would fog up like crazy so I couldn't even see, now I bought a new scorpion exo-400 with an anti fog visor that works okay, but instead of fogging up it just condensates really bad and its kind of gross (I don't think it was designed with the cold that we're getting in mind)

[gfloyd2002]

So, I've been thinking about this "snow" thing, so I snapped a shot on my way home from work. Is that it over there by the ocean, the whitish/tan stuff on the right?

[KawiKid860]

Yep, that looks like snow. The really dangerous kind too, stay as far away as possible from it! I've heard stories of it eating bikes AND people!

[Trailerboy531]

....So who's down for a group ride to Barbados?

[00NissanNinja]

oh floyd

Here's some snow for ya:
p_00053.jpg
Funny thing was I remember seeing a cruiser out that day in the morning.

I still ride over the winter so long as there isn't ice on the roads or snowing. But I won't ride for long distance trips though. The roads have been icy for weeks out in my neighborhood. It's just not melting much out here. I'm still jetting my bike right now so for now it doesn't matter.
