Griff Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 ok, so i decided to man up and ride to work this morning since it will be a nice ride home this afternoon....frozen nuts, frozen fingers, and still working on defrosting the rest of me. i think i'll be waiting for the morning temp to rise about 10 more degrees before i do this again...

V4junkie Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I did the same thing. Only about 5-10 minutes for me but my visor was so fogged up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo810 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 You guys should have with me last Wednessday. I live a half mile from the lake. It was below freezing when I left. And I rode to Coshocton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony07R6 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) I rode today too, its about 25 minutes for me from home to work. Today wasn't as bad as Tuesday morning though. It was 26 degrees tuesday when I left for work, by the time I got here I wanted to cry. My fingers were so frozen that they were burning.I agree though, another 10 degrees warmer would be ideal. When I watched the news last night they were saying the morning commute was going to be 37 degrees, F@#$ing LIARS.....

Paddy O Furniture Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Same here, the 40 minutes from Powell to OSU were quite moist; tons of condensation on my visor and jacket. 315 was a blast though. =/ Edited March 27, 2009 by Paddy O Furniture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC1000rr Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 +1 on fog hate. Last time I tired I had to keep wiping my visor with my hand so I could see, or just pull it up and cover my face in water. I'll wait a bit longer yet until it warms up just a tad bit more to clear some of this out in the mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 i didnt get alot of fog on the visor but it was definately dripping wet on the inside of it. but i just got back from lunch and it was definately worth the numb stinging hands because its f'in nice now...i cant wait to get the hell out of here and get back at it again.

jreese86 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I've found that I can ride to work as long as it's in the 30's and isn't too windy. Things I make sure to wear:Thermal Underwear (atleast pants, preferably shirt too)Extra par of heavy duty water-wicking work socksHoodyBaclava/Fleece Neckguard ($20 @ State8)WindbreakerRiding JacketFleece Glove LinersRiding GlovesFull Face HelmetFroggTogg Rainsuit if its rainingMy fingers still get pretty cold after the 25min ride to work. I just ordered these to fix that though:TPro Tornado Windproof Glove LinersCortech Scarab Winter GlovesPowerMadd Star Series Universal Hand GuardsAfter I get those I'll be able to ready in any weather as long as it's not snowy.
