I just rode while it was snowing!!!!!
So its the day before Thanksgiving and I'm here in Cleveland. My family came to visit from St. Louis and we were making a run to Target so I said hey, you guys drive my car and I'll ride.
Its 29 degrees here and 1-2 feet of snow is projected by Friday evening. When we got out of Target it had started to snow slightly. Kinda cool to be able to say I've ridden while it was snowing.
It was a little slick, I locked up my tire coming to a stop a couple times and did a mini burn out at a stop light. More so on purpose just to get a feel for it.

Thats pretty cool. Be careful! I won't ride if its below 35 because the bridges ice up and Dallas drivers are not used to cold weather driving and will do some retarded ****.

Haha, wuss! I just bought my bike this summer and I love it too much to put it away yet. I have gauntlet gloves with thin thermal gloves under them, and skull cap thing under my helmet, t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, alterego jack with liner, jeans, windbreaker type pants under the jeans, oxtar boots and long winter socks.
Alterego pants are on the way! I'm riding all year bitches!!!!!!!! Ok, maybe after a foot of snow falls tomorrow I might have to wait until it melts. I was amazed at how easily my bike started up yesterday and today though, it took an eternity to warm up though.
I honestly don't feel the cold at all. I get lots of funny looks though, haha.

You might want to think about taping up some of the radiator so your bike stays warm during the ride. And make sure your antifreeze is in

Re: I just rode while it was snowing!!!!! (rainmanEK)
My bike runs hot, throws a lot of heat on the rider, and almost completely protects the rider even in rain. I gave up riding it in the summer, but winters are perfect. I just ordered hand guards too.
Hand guards should be the end of fozen hands. Not my bike, not sure what that box with the **** is - probably for his electric vest.
