Awesome Riding today

Free Horsepower

8 below when I got finally going this morning, had to preheat my bike with my salamander before I started it

[richw]

we worry about you



on many levels

[RandyO]

it was out of necessity, I threw my fanbelt on my cage last nite, barely made it home, had to pick one up at Napa this morning, and run some other errands,

I've put about 100 miles on

My body just got chills even thinking about riding in 8 degree weather. Good Lord your crazy

[breakdirt916]

8 below zero in degrees F or degrees C?

[RandyO]

-8°F it was 15 below earlier in the morning

[RandyO]

I am just as warm if not warmer riding my bike with gerbings & heated grips as I am driving a cage

[OreoGaborio]

pfft, 8 below is like .... 82*Randyus

My last day of a 1 week trip at Killington it was

-20 F at the base with a 25 knott wind

but hell the ticket was paid for

2 runs thats it.

At Jay it was minus 25 at the base and you get a free 1st test run before you have to buy the ticket.

As the Eskimos XCUUUUZZZ MEEEE
Inuit people say

There is no bad weather just bad clothing

I saw someone on a black BMW in Shrewsbury Mass today. My first thought was "is that Randy?" I knew better but it was the first thing I thought of.

I was going to ride today but there was a van right handy by and well it has doors and a windshield.

After stalling for weeks upon weeks, I'm finally going to pick up my new ignition coil tomorrow and probably put it during the evening. If the ice and shit melts off the roads this weekend, I might take it out for a spin and see if I cant lowside it on some black ice or something.

hey you're not alone. on the way home about 1/4 of 8 i look to the right and thought i saw a cruiser type motocycle. rub my eye and look again. it was some type of motorcycle waiting at the off ramp. it's not 8 below but it's pretty damn cold out there.

saw two bikes out on Wednesday when it was about 25 BEFORE the wind chill.

I was jealous, though

Faaaahk...
Hit -40°F once at the top of Loon during my ski instructor stint. Can't say I enjoyed it much, and I was only out in it for 30 minutes or so before we closed the school for the day. Any exposed skin freezes mighty quick in shit like that.

Don't be a bunch a pussies. I was in Pittsburg N.H. snowmobiling
And it was -44 when I went out. I don't know what the wind chill was, but I can attest to the part about skin freezing mighty quickly. My face was black and blue up one side and I was wearing a helmet. It freezes even faster when you put bare skin against metal. That explains the 3 giant hard white clumps on my arm from working on the snowmobile that morning. It's ok though because they turn black and fall off.

I'm gonna spend the next hour or so trying to shake that image out of my head.
