TOO cold, froze my ass off just walking to my car. I cant imagine how cold i would be on my bike...

I got my first bike on Dec 24 and have been riding it whenever it's not raining. But only in the back roads, averaging 40 kp/h so I can't really feel the cold. My hands do though since I don't have gloves yet o.O

There was black ice yesterday so I didn't ride. I was really disappointed coz it was really nice out too o.O

^What bike did you get?

a heated vest makes a difference. I rode all year once and I didn't like it when I could not tell if that was a puddle or black ice on a cold day.

Wimp! :D I was out walking around in a sweater, it is not that cold.

I need gloves without vents, better pants (ie not jeans) and I could probably do this everyday.

I rode yesterday and it was quite good! It wasn't that crazily cold if you wear couple layers inside the gears. I'm planning to do it again today before the rain/snow comes back :D

gonna store my bike tonight. got my gas and fuel stabilizer. will do the rest after work.

2010 Ninja 250r. I took it for a quick ride and decided to go a little faster for a few seconds, and I felt some rush. (only 60-70 kph haha).

Never gonna do that again till I get full gear and pass the motorcycle skill test.

I must say though, the only thing I thought about was "wow.. I'm not wearing any seatbelt."

You can ride without supervision on just the parking lot test?


Also, I've been riding all winter, but if I go any longer than 5 mins, my hands are numb.
Any longer than 10-15, and my fingers actually start hurting.

What are you guys wearing for winter gloves? I don't feel like getting a cheap pair as I can still see myself winter riding next year.

Umm.. No.. You can't......

Oh so you got a Ninja eh? Ya I remember going on the highway during my PRS course, it was such a rush going 100kmph

I would advise you get gear before you do any of that again :thumbsup:

Ride safe!

i know it's a scooter and all,, but i've been thinking about going riding everyday lately.

but i won't, not worth freezing my balls off haha

bikes in storage but im already getting ready for next season. just ordered an rs taichi 1 piece and im taking apart my headers as i speak. new frame sliders, power commander and michelin pilot pures coming in this week too :D so excited

I only have summer gear. It's too cold to ride now. My bike has been in storage since November. I'm gonna do some work to it before I insure it again in April or May. Can't wait!

Heated grips > gloves!

That said, I am still going to invest in some wet/cold weather gloves... so lets hear the recommendations!

^

anything gortex should be good!

I WANT to ride. My bike's still insured. I'm not sure if I would be saving some money if I just storage-insure it or keep it insured (full).

I could just storage it and do a 'day-pass' insurance if it's nice outside, but that might be more expensive because of licensing fees and such if I do it a few times.

talked to a customer the other day. he's riding his ninja year round. props to him
he moved from edmonton, so he says vancouver weather is like heaven for him LOL.

This week looks awesome to ride! It will be cold yet the streets are dry so no black ice to worry about. I wish I was around last week, there were some good days to ride then too.

Went out yesterday and froze my ass off. Definitely need to get some long johns or something

wanted to go today but 2 degree weather's way too cold. my gear is all perforated, which makes the air even colder when it comes through the tiny holes.

Not gonna start riding till mid to late March. :p
