Since we can ride 12 months a year here, when it is below or above a certain temp, I just don't ride. I'm still hunting for a new job, and depending on the income, I may have to start riding for more than just fun, but economic reasons. Used to off road ride in the winter on frozen ground and through river beds with ice floating in the water. Fun all those decades ago, but sure wouldn't do it now.
Hope those of you who are putting up their bikes are able to do winter sports, snow mobiling, skiing, snow boarding, etc. tp
Why would we want to do that? It's freaking cold outside.A person of intelligence. The winter olympics have never made sense to me. All those folks out in the cold, watching other people out in the cold. Just no sense to me...
"Winterizing" is when you ride in sub-freezing temps, right? Cause I do that all the time...m

So the temp here the other day was -18.4f with the wind chill it was -46.3 now factor in a highway speed (60mi)into the wind works out to -63.63f try that out and let me know how you make out.
Nowadays most sleds have heated grips and seats such as http://www.polaris.com/en-ca/snowmobiles/550-indy-adventure-155/build#sthash.ZYuGo0ZQ.dpbs
But like gPink says
As I get older the bone chilling cold hits way to hard.
But.........but this does have a certain appeal to it
Oh man that is sad. It was a chilly 31 but I road mine to work this morning.

That's why I live in the Texas Gulf Coast area. Back into the 70's in a couple of days.
Single ... for now!
Met a great new friend, and we have identical riding habits. Looking forward to spending more time with him.
Perhaps this will change soon
