9:00pm EX250 rider in Roslindale

[a13x]

Dear EX250 Rider,


I salute your willingness to ride during a 32 degree night with nary a electric vest or heated grips in sight. You appeared to be cold due to the way you were shivering at the stoplight. Keep it on two wheels frosty friend.


Sincerely,
The Guy in the Tacoma buying Tostitos and Salsa

I am now on the couch watching Star Wars: Empire of Dreams (making of DVD) and Tomb Raider. What can I say my g/f is a nerd.

I saw a dude on a cbr f4i out the other night when I was leaving the gym... he was riding in jeans.

I'm not sure whether to congratulate him or not, he was either the man, or retarded.

[Tricky Mike]

Saw a green EX (maybe the same dude) on Fresh Pond Pkwy last week when it was REAL cold. I've ridden through my share of winters and I was surprised to see him out. It was maybe 5 degrees, ice everywhere.

[seth399]

ya I was freezing IN my truck a few weeks ago turning up the heat and I came up behind a bmw touring bike...sick fucks

[Pigman]

I too saw a Silver full fairing BMW on Rt3 the other Day....around 3:30

[seth399]

ya this one was silver...there can't be more than one of those crazies can there? haha

[Pittenger5]

These people are just stupid. Aint so much the cold, but are you seriously riding around with this much ice and salt and shit all over the roads?

[butcher bergs]

but are you seriously riding around with this much ice and salt and shit all over the roads?

Yes.

Although it's not too bad up this way....not sure what the city looks like.

[csmutty]

Yes.

Just came back from riding this afternoon...wasn't that bad. There was some ice but not on the main roads. Hands got cold after about half an hour though...

[Pittenger5]

Yes.

Although it's not too bad up this way....not sure what the city looks like.

Youre just crazy bergs. I do expect that behavior out of you

[BCT748]

I saw about half a dozen staties going north on 93 this morning on their baggers with the lights going. Looked like they were escorting some busses, not really sure what that was all about.

Thanks Richie.

I had some old timer come up to me today and ask if I'd "lost my ass yet". I said "No way!".

Somehow that response opened the door to story time and I got to hear about the time he was riding on ice and his Harley landed on him....somethin'.....somethin'............

They were going to Tufts. They were escorting Tony Blair.

Same here. I got out for about 85 miles on my XR650L on Saturday. (Tried out my new heated vest -- awesome!) The only roads that looked icy/slippery were the dirt ones, so I stayed off those, but otherwise no problem.

I did have to give the bike a good rinse off when I got back into Burlington though. Lots of salt.

I must ask what color the bike was and where.

[Jim]

I must ask what color the bike was and where.

it was obviously a joke. if you've ever seen him, you'd know he doesnt go to the gym

Oh, that was over my head. I was riding around Boston the last couple nights. I wear jeans over my long johns and sweats and knee pads. Just thought it was a me sighting.

Pussys, when I lived in woburn and work in the fenway, I used to ride year round. Split lanes to the carpool lane, then cut over to the leverett connector to the brakedown lane onto storrow, bang at work 20 minutes. In the car 1 hour.

Some days were pretty hairy ice under the bridges on storrow and shit. You become aware of every obstacle on your route just as you notice the dark V after the alligator strip in T3 showing you the line. I knew where every pothole and pavement change and patch of ice was.

Cool shit riding with heated grips, vest and a V Twin in the cold.

I can neither confirm nor deny the viewing of said geeky movies

[Yev]

Maybe it was WTFAlien? He has a Ninja 250 and he is doing the "Winter Challenge"..
Maybe, maybe not?
