Fall Riding...

[Sheppo]

I've got heated vests in stock...
Watch out for black ice in the morning. Also wet leaves and acorns. I ride all the time and I love fall/late fall rides. Watch out for Deer early in the AM. They are moving now. They move morning and night and pretty much hunch down during the day and eat.

Whats the warmest thing I could fit under my leathers? Been rocking the under armor....but last weekend was a bit cold, I wanted to crawl into my exhaust while I was riding

come try a heated vest..

You looking to get fucked or something?

[duganc1717]

Nope, but maybe you and Kenn can get a sleeping bag together to keep warm.

So just to double check here... no need for special tires etc for these cold days? What entails heating up the rubber?

I'm still going to try to push it as long as I can to ride my bike.. the cold doesn't get to me much since I'm a crazy canuck.. the fear of slippery roads bothers me though.

special tires no, but i wont ride my liter bike with soft compound tires when the roads are this cold.

i always keep a pyrometer with me and use tire pressure relative to the load i'm carrying on each bike to keep heat in the tires.

btw:i like conti trail attacks and mich pilot rd II's this late in the year.

fwiw, soft rubber is more desirable on cold pavment unless you like riding on hockey pucks

drop pressure a couple psi to get more flex/heat



best winter tires imho

Pirelli MTR60-Corsa or Avon Extreme Rain

This thread is about cold weather riding not what you think about to maintain an errection.

Egads.. this morning was cool... but the extra layer under the jacket was fine.... although gloves could use some work. I brought some of my snowboarding gloves in the bag today.. maybe I'll be wearing those on the way back home!

Downtown Boston I saw a lot of people on bikes this morning.. a little more than usual, I wonder why?

Good thing you're not talking about me!

Must be some-other user That only spells his name with 1(one) N, not two n's like I use.

just like there's always someone faster than you are....

....there's also someone crazier!!!

for a short stint i worked at Rochester Motorsports. i came into work one day and literally slid past the driveway...didnt even slow down. i had to turn around and try it again.
a 1/2 hour later Randy RODE by....

I got 150 or so miles in today, running business errands, mostly gravel roads, but they are in great condition as well, lot of paving and grading went on this summer, now the gravel's compact, any oil on the surface of fresh pavement has had a chance to wash off, a good % of leaves are down, better sight lines in corners, hardly any traffic,

Lol i just got home at midnight, the roads are soaked its currently 31 degrees and snowing and what do i hear but some inline 4 bike ripping some roads around my house lol

crazy mofo . . . or just dumb

I'd love to be able to do that, unfortunately living at a condo means unless the bikes away for the winter its only protection is a cover, ie. once the first snow hits, it goes away

[spicy]

it's still 65* here and sunny, though the afternoon winds have started to pick up over the past week or so...





..course my gloating doesn't mean much since the bike i've got here doesn't have a motor..............

[rice_rocket]

Bah, it's only 41 outside here.. I'm going out later today
