Who's Still Riding?

[AlCab]

Been raining here non-stop in the northwest the last couple weeks and I am a fair weather rider only (I know, I'm a wimp ) so I have not been on my bike for a couple weeks. Plus, I have it all apart waiting for my gauge cluster to come back from the gear indicator install. Leaving for CO tomorrow so it will be next year before I get to ride again.

Not riding in the rain doesn't really make you a pussy, it just makes you less of a man than the rest of us lol

I don't really mine riding in the rain, I just worry about other drivers around me. I hate seeing the way people drive knowing that there is less traction, visibility, and a motorcycle on the road.

LOL Lee! I just have no desire to ride in the rain. That's what my car is for I guess I am not a hard core motorcycle guy like some of you are. It's more of a hobby for me than a way of life.

Heated Grips

Got heated grips put on 2 weeks ago. Makes alot of difference...but I still won't rider in 35 degrees or less. I don't ride in the rain either..too dangerous in Northern California..

I have heated grips on my Concours but I like Gerbing's heated gloves better.

No need for heated grips here at the moment...just scrubbed in a new set of tires, 37 degrees Celsius outside!
Tomorrow they're predicting 42 at the track... I don't even want to imagine how hot it will actually be on track.

It's starting to warm up here already. I just got a pair of Tourmaster Overpants though to help keep me safe and provide a little warmth. The mornings are just a little too chilly. I was actually kind of hoping for it to rain today, it would have been my first experience riding in the rain. I guess the only thing I really wouldn't like would be having to clean the bike ahead of schedule than it's Sunday bath.

Glad every thing is ok.

It's funny that the thought process runs through your mind after a down something like this, "Can I move? check", "Am I bleeding? nope" "How's my bike? awww $hit, at least it isn't that bad." Then the first thing you always start talking about is the damage to the bike, lol.

I think I was more embarrassed than anything. because there was a whole line of cars

Bikes is insured all year. I ride as long as there is no snow or frost in the mornings. This morning was -2Celsius but I toughed it out and rode. Itching to get on and ride!

 

[FZh8in]

Rode for a good 3 hours today. 60 degrees in January?! I'll take it!

 

[Black Widow]

It was only -14c last night, and 4 inch ruts of frozen ice from the foot of snow we had this week. I probably won't ride today
