Title: Do you ride in the cold?
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on August 22, 2018, 09:12:52 PM
This was a bit sporting...it was before I had my electric gloves.
Ice fishermen out there on the far right. That is really nutty.

Was before I got my Kymco.  But middle of January in Minneapolis.  Usually get out at least once a month in winter.  Should be a lot less temperamental with fuel injection now

I ride everyday no matter what the weather is as my scoot is my only transport but luckily it only gets down to around 37 degrees farenheit in winter where I am living.  Don't think I would enjoy early morning starts in the snow or ice.

Year round here. But it is Alabama and a bit warmer. The lowest temp I've ridden in was 10ºF for 6 hours at night. No electric gear. It was getting a little painful after 4 hours. Last 2 hours it was really a bit warmer as the sun was rising. But I've learned that even with the same temp, the sun shining on you can feel wonderful. The last tour I took in the cold, I lost all my pics because the camera froze, then when it thawed.....well, it just shorted out.
If I lived in Yankee territory I'd prolly have the electric gear too. You guys that ride year round up there are tough.

I rode in -40F last year on the agility 50, plan to do the same with the Xciting400i.
I rode nearly daily, no electric gear, just layers and skigloves!

I tend not to go outdoors if it's below 70!

2013? IL'm guessing as that is the last snow I can remember here in Bama. Here in central Bama, that snow lasted almost 24 hours!!!!!
I do know that north of the 300 mile marker on I-65 it does get a little worse  ;D

That was Feb 2015.  I don't remember any snow in 2013.  At least I didn't get any pics.  Here's a couple I took in 2014:

Riding in the cold isn't stupid. Being dumb enough to go out and sit amidst ice trying to catch fish is stupid. <bwahahaha>

Those are some beautiful pictures guys.   Being here in Texas where it’s been hitting 100 degrees or higher everyday, it doesn’t get too cold during the winter here.   Still, I do ride all year around, even when it’s in the low 40s.   That’s cold for us.
