Hey everybody, happy holidays. Just wondering if anyone else ride in cold weather or am I nuts?!?!?!

 

Down to about 10 degree's, then it's put in the garage.

 

I ride down to the upper 30's - as long as it's above freezing. But you're in Texas - aren't your low temperatures higher than most of the country's highs? I looked up Ft. Worth, for example, and they haven't had a day this month I wouldn't call a good riding day - maybe the 2 days the highs were in the 40's would have been chilly.

 

I am good down to the 20's really bundled up with fleece underwear and full leather and chaps, a fleece neck wrap and a gore-tex neck cover. I have an electric vest too that really helps by keeping the core temp up.

I ride until they salt the street, then she's in for the winter unless it warms up and rains and washes the salt away. Then I can head out again.

I live in Chicago, which can have nasty winters, with weeks and weeks below freezing, and many feet of snow. However, last year (2011-2012 winter) we had the mildest winter I can recall. We had a few occasional smowstorms, but it always warmed up and rained a few days later. I was able to ride every month through the winter.

 

Yup. I ride in cold weather also and yes you are nuts!

 

As long as there's no snow, ice, or salt on the roads, I'll ride. I have heated gloves, heated boot liners, insulated chaps, sheepskin seat cover, soft lowers, fairing & wind deflectors and stay pretty warm.

So yeah, if you wanna label me "nuts", I'm fine with that.

 

Cold weather doesn't bother me,as long as it's 65 or higher

 

32 this AM and I rode, but that's about the lowest I will go.

 

I think most of us in the North are in agreement- down to the upper 30's -sun helps, not in salt, sand or possible freezing rain, nope.

 

Ain't we all a little nuts ?
