ScubaCinci Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Rode in today. Figure it will probably be my last ride till spring. I was actually thinking about doing a ride tomorrow morning because of the change in weather coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 on vacation all week, so not 'commuting', but went on an extended ride yesterday. Could have used the liner back in the jacket, but was OK without. Going out again today.This weather is awesome: ER MAH GERD, GLERBERL WERMAHNG!...Mine was especially helpful this morning after finding out my gf has been cheating on me with one of my "best" friends for a couple months now...been there. buh-bye gf, period. once a cheater, always a cheater in my book.

Unk Greg Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Ride to work often...not always. PM ride in and warmish if you will. 5AM, and not so balmy at 30 -32* Generally layer up. If I am out and about (any sunny day that the roads aren't covered with grit-during winter) I recycle my old Nomex...think thermal long johns and one of them pastry concoctions that are also a covering for the head.long sleeve shirt over Nomex, then a fleece jacket and then a outer wear jacket...if 20's it'd be the dbl leather jacket over top....and one of them neckie things.No interstates, just these junky (or junkie) backroads....514, 520, 60, 62, 229, 308...maybe y'all have heard of a couple. No probs except for pickup trucks!There is a Hard Nipple Ride slated for January...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZRMatt Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm still riding as long as there is no rain in sight. The coldest has been 25 when I left work in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Heated gear rocks! It's not time to put them away yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBBaron Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's not time to put them away yet....+1Ill ride as long as there is not wet salted roads or snow/ice. Ive seen what the salt does to a bicycle so i will avoid that for my motocycle. Last winter was ofcourse very mid, but the bike was in "storage" for about 6 weeks. This fall was almost that long when dealing with a bad back but Im hoping to ride atleast once every month.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I rode Monday but it was too easy. Still, the road was wet and cold and I felt my tires getting a little squirmy, especially on the tar strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgetz524 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just got a new helmet with a pinlock insert. My Scorpion was fogging up at anything less than freeway speeds and it was about time to replace it. I Didn't want ride today with the ground still wet, I hate those tar snakes, really bad on Leap road, but tomorrow we'll see how well the pinlock works.
