36 deg..about 5 miles....didn't dress for the weather.....was 50 when i got there...2 hours later...36

 

40 deg?.. I'd like to remind you that I live in LA, so....40 is a big deal for us :lol Cold weather isn't that much of a problem, as long as you are all geared up and have a sweater on. This doesn't include snow....for you wise guys :lol

 

well it started out to be around 30 degrees. but the further i rode out into the desert at night to work, it got colder. ended up being 18 degrees at work. sucked balls.

 

Around 28 or 29. Didn't so much feel the cool as I was more worried about hitting a patch of ice. It had rained earlier that day and wasn't supposed to drop that much, I don't take that chance anymore. I give them a 6-8 degree margin for error now.

 

5 degrees used to ride my bike to work every day year round.

 

Ouch, I rode about 20 miles in full leathers and long johns, my hands were about to fall off....

 

there is a thread if you can find it, where there was a contest for this thing. You had to take a picture near a temp (bank clock) to prove it though.

 

i remember that one bike and clock in pict
ive ridden in single dig that sucked

 

Iv'e ridden in the 30's,didn't like it Neck gets stiff, not what I'd call a good time. But if you want to talk cold, Mammoth during a blizzard about -20 I didn't like that either.....:dunno

 

30+ degrees not including the wind chill factor.

 

cold...

 

I rode once at 17 degrees not including wind chill factor( Brr!):scared

 

Well, unsure about the temperature but have ridden in hellacious snowfall a couple of times. Would have to estimate in the teen's for about 40-50 miles.

 

Went through Julian today, was tearing it up tell I looked over and seen a pond covered in ice the next corner was completely soaking wet....... The asshole pucker factor was off the cart...... After that I slowed the F$%^ down to say the least

 

18 degree's here yo.

 

just bought my first bike in March of 06, and i live in wisconsin. was stupid excited and drove it home during flurries. took it out my girlfriends house the next day and the temp was holding at 38. it was a 25 minute ride. i tell ya, that kind of excitement for riding has worn off. we only ride if it is in the 40's now.

 

i've ridden in the low 30's. hell the next morning after i picked up my bike was 35 and that was in the end of september.

 

lets see ummmmmm...i remember it like it was yesterday. it was last year february i was watching the weather all week to see what day was going to be the warmest.....it was like 20 out, i went to the dealer to pic her up
i was inside doing paper work for like three hours....came outside
to ride home it was raining....my bike was soaked. sooooo.....i rode home
on the wet,cold ground with new tires.....but i did'nt care , cause i had
my baby.

 

In '81 on one of my trips from Orlando to just North of Baltimore I got stupid.

It was 95 in Florida when I left at noon so all I was wearing was jeans, boots, t-shirt, helmet and had a hoodie bungee'd to the seat. A cold front came through somewhere around North Carolina. By the time I got to my parents around mid-night it was 21 degrees. My dad had to pry my hands off the bars and help me off the bike. I slept for 18 hours straight after that ride.

Never again, I went out and bought a snowmobile suit.

 

I rode to work the other day, just had to get a ride in. It was 34 when i went in and was meant to hang there but it started dropping fast. I came home just after 12 noon , it was 24 with freezing rain, I arrived with just enough clear space on my visor to see and I was ice white from the waist up. I am not doing that again..................wife won't let me either she was cleaning the floor from melted ice for half an hour :sing: :sing: :sing: I love Wisconsin

 

I flew out to CA on year and picked up a BMW K1200RS for a buddy. It is a sportbike, but has heated grips. They didn't do shit though! I was in 12 deg F weather one morning on the way back. I rode 45 minutes and had to stop for 45 minutes to warm back up, then repeat that until I came down off the high plains of New Mexico.

 

I picked up my 02 R1 from the dealership in February of 02 & rode it home. It was 14 degrees F, 25-30mph winds, snowing & ice covered roads, and new tires. Its typically a 20 minute trip, took me 45 minutes, froze my azz off & scarred myself sh*tless :scared


Had to get her home to start the mods :secret:

 

Around 30º +/-. It was snowing but melting as soon as it hit the ground. My knees & hands were frozen after 20 min. I'll never do that again!

 

35 degrees in california the other week. I only have a short & quick ride to work though. Back of my neck didin't like it though. I may get me a mock turtle for the next time it happens. Oh hands were stiff in the hand grip position for a few minutes.

 

started by riding around the storm, ended up in the black hills of south dakota, then back into Wyoming, which is about 3 hours away, started raining, as we got closer to Deadwood, SD, it started snowing, me and a friend on a R6, we seriously thought we were going to die, no houses anywhere, we stopped numerous times, couldnt feel our hands, couldnt see,

my hands were so cold, they went numb, then they started to hurt, turn blue, then went numb again. and i was wearing leather gloves.

it had to be about 20 degress, add soaking wet clothes to that,,you do the math,,,we were close to death

 

I must have ridden in the low 50s at some point, Brrrrrr

On my bicycle (used to race Cat 1) I rode when it was -30 air temp -50 w/ wind-chill for 70 minutes - that was a cold fricking ride.

 

When I got my first R1 I went to Tahoe in the middle of the night.... Gambled all my money away and got in a fight with the G/F.. I ended up getting pissed and said **** it, I headed home (about 2.5 hours) at 1am with snow on the sides of the road. All I had was my jacket, thin gloves and some extra clothes. After about 5 miles I pulled over and put on all my clothes under my jacket and then put my sweats over my pants... :lol It was like 15 outside and driving it was colder than I have ever been. It was nice to get over the pass and finally get to some air that was above freezing. When I got back to the valley here it was about 40 or so and it felt like 80....

I will never do it again, but ya it was fun the next day after I could feel my legs and hands again.


Young and stupid..... :lol :lol :lol
