Default Winter riding

Fortunately, I live in TN and can ride to work most days. Its a pleasure to blast out of work to the bank. Still I avoid cold rains or take alternate routes due to fogging and low visibility at night when those headlights reflect off every drop of rain on your shield. Sometime ago found myself riding virtually blind on a two lane. Stayed on the road only by gauging my distance from oncoming car lights. Never again. Low 40's heavy rain. No visibility and no shoulder upon which I could pull off. Just slowed to crawl until I could see.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Mine may hibernate for a week while I check the valves; last winter one exhaust valve had tightened to "mid-range", so I figure that I need to do them again this winter. Beyond that, it is year round riding in southern Arizona.

I am really thankful I live in Southern California. These days my fingers hurt when I arrive at work at 7.45 am. But I still can ride, roads are dry. I really love that we can ride all year long.

Happy new year!

I'm with you. It's EFI! I usually ride once a week at a minimum but recently I just fire her up and let her run until she's hot. It is current 21 degrees here right now. even with the one-piece and heated gear it still sucks...

In VA Beach there is really no snow but I ride in any temps as long as the road is dry Monday it was 25*F or -3.9* for those of the world. It was a cold ride but I still rode back and forth to work don't plan to store my bike at all.


Oh Kate Beckinsale! Joeboo!
