I'll be caging it tomorrow. Snow again. Can't believe how early in the year.

omegajim · 10-11-2009, 10:43 PM

do you have any accumulation, or just "flurries" as they call it?

**Clint** · 10-11-2009, 11:04 PM

1-3", probably. Was 3-5, but it's moving south.

frostbitevinnie · 10-12-2009, 05:30 AM

Yep, fluffy white stuff sticking to the grass. Good day to do burnouts.

GeorgiaRoller · 10-22-2009, 08:24 AM

I must admit you guys are hardcore..........................or just crazy. My blood is too thin for that weather anymore. I've been wousified to the cold living in the south. I don't like riding under 55 degrees.

tricker · 10-22-2009, 09:17 AM

If it were below 32 I wouldn't have cause the roads are/were still wet. The Z doesn't like temps below 25 and starts to get cranky.

**Clint** · 10-22-2009, 11:16 AM

I rode, but I was too lazy to put the liner in my jacket and I wore a short-sleeve polo shirt. Half of me is well done, half still frozen.

It's dry for a change, but with a brutal north wind. I'd have been fine with the liner in.

We'll stop riding when it gets cold, as Adam said the overnight low's are still in the high 30's, heck I'm still just wearing jeans, I did put the liner in the jacket though.

**Clint** · 10-22-2009, 05:17 PM

You're smarter'n me!

It doesn't look like it will get out of the 30's today. Liner goes in before I leave work.

omegajim · 10-22-2009, 06:35 PM

warm enough here, but rainy - and I see the rain is heading NE and the twin cities are looking at getting some sprinkles.

30's on a motorcycles is too cold. You Polar Bears just refuse to admit it. Your blood is as thick as tar up there.

**Clint** · 10-22-2009, 10:09 PM

A couple beers before I leave in the morning help. I could see snow tomorrow.

omegajim · 10-22-2009, 10:35 PM

naw... giving us too much credit. we're just too stubborn.

GeorgiaRoller · 10-23-2009, 09:05 AM

Yeah what's a little salt on the bike gonna hurt. Stubborn bastage!

I want to see a video of you on your bike racing a snowmobile down the road. Or better yet you can just stud your tires and pull your shanty out on the lake to Ice Fish. Then I'll know your nuts!

Gonna be sunny @ 69 degrees for my ride on Sunday. I'll be sure to bundle up for that one.

It you'd be so kind to UPS down your electric gloves I'd appreciate it.

tricker · 10-23-2009, 09:12 AM

electric gloves... i scoff at that! I'm not smart enough to invest in those yet. Also I have ridden in the snow/slush/salt crap before. It was just above freezing and the city had just cleared the sheet of ice off the road. I rode my bike 8 miles from my sister's neighbor's house (tried to pay them for storing it but they wouldn't take it) to my new house. 6 mile ride from hell. I was scared of that one.

Yep, been-there-done-that,,,,,,,,,,,, twice.

The first time was in the summer and I was on blacktop next to a field where they were doing grass drags on the sleds, but the second time was on a frozen lake that had this real hard & crusty snow on top of the ice, I was on a dirt bike with full knobies and I was getting better traction than I usually get on dirt, wheelies and power slides were no problem at all.
