Title: First Ride of 2018!
Post by: kojak on January 07, 2018, 03:00:11 PM: First ride of 2018. I usually get out on New Years Day but we had snow and ice in the Shenandoah Valley this year. Got about 2 hours in!

No way in hell I'd ride when it's that cold... been trying to stay inside as much as possible while we are experiencing the "Bomb Cyclone". :coolblue:

What would you be calling the right gear? I have yet to figure out how to get the fireplace on the bike. Enjoy the ride!!!

Post by: paconico1992 on January 31, 2018, 12:21:58 PM: I was riding my bike through early December in Minnesota, the low was 17 degrees. With heated gear it wasn't bad.

Post by: GregKhougaz on January 31, 2018, 12:55:13 PM: This thread makes me wonder if our bikes have "all-season" tires. Cars with summer tires literally should not be driven below 40 degrees.

Post by: kojak on February 02, 2018, 04:56:42 PM: Don't know about that but good idea to check tire pressure. I've seen tire pressure drop 5 psi when the temp drops from 60 to 20.

Post by: CVO 2015 on February 03, 2018, 11:08:57 AM: Rode to Vegas last knight from Cali....When I left the temp was 74, it dropped to 52 going through the pass...Almost pulled over to put on my chaps...(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180203/d1b743f14c78de6b805e869b07d1e3eb.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180203/683794e8545fa5aefa29ccbc3446e989.jpg)
