smashweights Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Might try layering up Saturday and heading to Hocking Hills. Fall colors should be peaked and mid-50's is about as good as it's gonna get. If anyone is interested in one last ditch adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Still riding. I never take my bike out of service over the winter, I've ridden on Christmas day before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbarron77 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I need to get some pants/chaps for when it gets cold....you know, below 50. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBBaron Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Left the bike home today First time since last winter I have done that due to weather. I could have ridden but 30s and rain is no fun so I took the easy way out. I will be riding whenever the roads are clear this winter. I used to store the bike during the winter but every sunny day I would wish I had it. As for riding gear I wear a Tourmaster Transistion2 jacket and Caliber pants. They do a decent job of keeping out the wind and light rains. If its cold and wet I add a rain suit over it. Then I just layer under depending on the temp.On the highway below freezing you really need heated gear to stay warm. Just too much heat loss to ride like that very long. I have not yet gone that far as my commute is 8 miles of city streets but I hope to so I can do longer rides in the late fall early spring.

Gump Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Cleaned up the bike and brought it inside today. No more riding for me. Battery, after 8 years, died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm hitting the Dragon this weekend assuming the new bike gets here in time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmanlyst Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'll be riding as soon as doc clears my ribs fractures. Plan on riding all winter again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Perfect example tonight on the way to work I hid a deer with the truck no damage( I seen it in time to get on the brakes and barely bump it) but on the bike could have been a lot worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm riding today. Then, I'm putting Seafoam in the tankand gassing it up so it will be ready whenever the weatheris nice. Having it ready to go will be the key to getting outin January or February when we always seem to have afew warm days. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Rider6 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I rode last night to visit family... I hadn't taken the bike out for 3 weeks and was feeling bad and over adventurous about it. It was cold as hell at 1am (32*?), but I managed... Need to get the winter kit for my helmet and break out of the balaclava and hippo hands soon...
