Riding - Bit cold for ya?

**Keystone19** · 28th June 2006, 10:59

It's been a tad chilly the last few mornings so for those of you who ride I thought a little poll to see how tough you all are was in order...

*finds the bus nice and warm these days*

*misses my bike*

It was fricken cold.

rode through some fog.. at the other side of it, the fog on my visor had turned into ice! and I had to scrap it off with the glove!

i start work at 9am, so its not too bad.

If I still had a bike I would ride in the same gear I have before during winter. Its not that bad once you get used to the cold.

How are those new heated grips Jill?

**DMNTD:Me** · 28th June 2006, 11:09

Yesterday morning I woke up to see a 10mm+ layer of solid frost on the SV...and they call this the winterless Norf!!
Took the bike 4-5mins to warm up...took me 20mins!! Hate to admit it but I actually thought of the benefits of heated hand grips

**Keystone19** · 28th June 2006, 11:10

Those heated grips are the best modification I have ever made to my bike - actually they're the only modification I've ever made but they are damn good!

Thank you for asking Zed...

umm dont wear cordura so dunno how to answer the silly poll

**Jantar** · 28th June 2006, 11:18

I dont ride when its really cold. Anything below -6 and the bike stays in the shed. I also use the cage if there's any sigh of black ice, or snow lying on the driveway.

A bit of frost though is pleasant riding, just put on an extra layer, like I did yesterday. Its still -8 here at the moment, that's why I'm on the computer and not riding.

Im a wuss and made my own heated grips. Theyre super hot (almost too hot sometimes) but I get to work safe as I can feel my fingers, and thats all I care about.

Just how cold we talking? Been sub zero on my way to work the last few days

A man of your exquisite intelligence, should be able to figure out an appropriate answer I would have thought...

Perception is reality, who's reality are we measuring, North or South?
I hate being cold, full stop!

Cheers John.
