Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / January 2005Almost to cold to ride
I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. There were a few other riders out today but they looked like they were dressed warmer than I was. There wasn't much wind while I was outside before my ride and the sun was nice and warm but the wind chill riding down the highway at 70mph was almost to cold. > I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > was nice and warm but the wind chill riding down the > highway at 70mph was almost to cold. Yep, that's cold...when i rode my new bike a few years ago at similar temps, i worn 3 pants, 2 swetters and a jacket... ( i just HAD to try it out) >I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >was nice and warm but the wind chill riding down the >highway at 70mph was almost to cold. yeah, i had to wear a sweater riding yseterday. must have been 60f in the wind. i hate winter! You need to checkout http://www.gerbing.com It was 39 when I headed out this morning and I was nice and toasty all day on a 210 mile ride through the twisties! Heated liners under the leathers is very nice. > I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > was nice and warm but the wind chill riding down the > highway at 70mph was almost to cold. Cool products Ryan but I'm going to have to think about whether I ride enough in cold weather to purchase those products. > You need to checkout http://www.gerbing.com > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > was nice and warm but the wind chill riding down the > > highway at 70mph was almost to cold. > I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > was nice and warm but the wind chill riding down the > highway at 70mph was almost to cold. Good riding gear makes all the diff in the world. I have decent first gear stuff, including liners, pants and jacket, and the ride home tonight (5-6deg C, about 40degF) was nice. Only problem is I need to get some winter gloves, the summer weight gloves I have, are a bit light for the colder weather.

It is just about perfect riding weather down in Louisiana right now. I feel bad for all the guys and gals up north that can't ride year round, but then I remember how much better it feels up there in the summertime. > > I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > some winter gloves, the summer weight gloves I have, are a bit light for > the colder weather. I decided to ride to the polling place this morning to vote before work... it was 33 degrees and breezy. The local cop looked at me like I was nuts. This time of year, the ride home makes the cold in the morning worth it. New England on a sunny day can be spectacular in the fall Greg > That's one thing I love about living down south.

Huh? can't ride year round? why ever not! gets a bit nippy perhaps, but that's no big deal. >> > I rode today in 48°F temperature and almost froze. >> > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> some winter gloves, the summer weight gloves I have, are a bit light for >> the colder weather. SignatureJim Richardson http://www.eskimo.com/~warlock Q: What is the difference between a duck? A: One leg is both the same. Sure I can ride year round, even though it's a bit sweltering in the summertime. I knew some folks that couldn't ride year round up north when I lived in PA. The roads were too bad in the winter time, and the wind chill standing still was -10. > > That's one thing I love about living down south.

The cold is not a problem, its the ice on the roads. Ruadrunner > Sure I can ride year round, even though it's a bit sweltering in the > summertime.
