Likwid Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Was at a wedding today with a club rider and I asked how long he'll ride for. That was his answer, I think that's a really cool idea.His comment was "no matter how much snow or how cold, I'll at least ride to the end of the street, starts the year off right"Anyone else have some cool traditions/superstition?

Kosmo Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 i ride year round....even in wet until they salt the road......once they salt it, I try to avoid the days when the surface is wet.....or snowy/icy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I've found not to put it up. We always get a warm day with rain and then the next day is warmer and dry. You get your windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have been on my bike for a 5 minute trip around the neighborhood at -5 below zero before. My snot froze. Sometimes those little trips make me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFM Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ice is the only thing I avoid. Can be colder than freezing, but if it's dry you'll see a red Aprilia out. Daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily.QFT this guy rides! I wish I had the type of job that allowed me to do that...but I still managed to rack up 18 thousand miles in 2 years of having the bike...(bought it brand spanky new too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Yep. Even when it's raining at Mid Ohio and the laps are in the 3 minute range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 It used to be mandatory with my friends to ride somewhere in the morning on January 1st every year. As well as New Year's Eve if we could manage it. Not far, just go somewhere for a while and go back home. the first and last day of the Years.We got pulled over in Reynoldsburg once. No charges, I suspect he thought we were drunk for being out when there was a lot of ice still around. He actually said he was impressed when we pulled over on ice, using feet a lot to stay up, and didn't fall down. I don't think he saw that I had put my side stand down and was sliding on that, holding it with my foot on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole "start the year off right" just seems like a really cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingset Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I ride year round, I won't ride in ice or sub-zero but otherwise I'll ride at least weekly all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I took out the bike December 31st, 2007. 55-60 degrees and sunny. I plan on doing it again this year, weather permitting. If there's snow/ice/wet salt, I won't be out.hue's got a valid point, I'm not completely locking down the CBR for the season. There will be freak windows like this Tuesday/Wednesday it's supposed to be 60-70 and sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
