I'm in London and its bloody freezing but there are bikes everywhere. Had breakfast at the Ace Cafe and there were tons of bikes there. All the bikes are black with dirt and salt covered and they don't care.

Do they all ride with ATGATT there? Here we ride will flip-flops, t-shirt and no helmet.

Who's the pussy now?

I was out yesterday on the Duc and it was 29 degrees. Only rode about 30 miles but...got my fix in.

I rode the 1000 and it was 22 out and foggy and I am Greek, I shouldnt even been walking out at those temperatures never mind riding...
Hi Degs

[k_cotter]

i live on dirt roads. meaning snow covered. and yes i'm a pussy.

[Wanderer]

Heh, was out today all over Surrey/Sussex

[maxim_X]

I get about one ride a month in the winter. Yes I wait until rain washed all the salt off the roads and it's 40+.

[SRTie4k]

I would mention something about the cost of cars and gasoline in the UK, but that would be too easy.

Instead I will say that yes, I am a pussy.

[GingahNinjah]

I can handle the cold to a point. i would ride in these temps but i dont wanna have to take the time to hose the salt off the bike etc when i get home or have to worry about sliding out on sand with my luck. it wont be easy but ill wait a bit longer...

[JettaJayGLS]

I ride the Vespa like a boss in the winter.

lame excuse

[sveesix]

I am beginning to care less and less about salt and the cold. Snow, that is an entirely different story.

I'm planning to get the Street VFR400R out this weekend.... bwahahhaaa

Just got back to the USA from living in London for 3 years. Those folks ride in absolutely any weather at all. The only thing I will say is that it very rarely gets down below 32F over there. In my 3 years it snowed about 5 times total and that cumulatively equaled about 6 inches of snow. Otherwise though, they are out in rain, hail, etc. all the time.

Rode the CBR yesterday for 20 fun minutes, then rode for another 40 freezing my fingers. Should have quit at 20. Some roads good, some a mix of sand and salt. Some were just salt, those were the difficult ones, couldn't see that salt until right near it.

[scottieducati]

Goddamn weekend now doesn't look good at all. BLAST!

[Yknot]

I would ride the motard in the cold but it has ice tires on right now. So I ride ice instead, does that count?

[PinHead]

I own a car and a truck, both with heat. The bike can rest thank you.

Degsy, tried to PM you on something entirely unrelated, but your PM inbox is full.

Not to act like a tough guy, but 32F is fucking warm. Why is everyone so surprised they ride in the winter when it doesn't get below "zero Celsius"

[nhbubba]

32-F is not fucking warm. 32-F is freezing. Add wind chill riding at speed and.. no thanks, I'll wait 'til spring.
