i dont understand how people can make it through winter without riding. i have seriously been going through withdrawls for riding. what is everyones tricks for staying sane?

 

My trick to staying sane is to go out and ride.... Seriously, if there is no snow on the ground why not? Just bundle up and remember that your tires and road are going to be cold. Also watch out for gravel. I went out the other day, it was 13 degrees and my hands were numb and I was shivering so much that the bike started to wobble, but it was fun. I was bouncing off the rev limiter in first blasting away from every stop light, not riding for a couple weeks really makes you do stupid stuff. There were way too many holiday shoppers on the road to be speeding, but I couldnt control myself.

 

I agree.... it's in the 30's here and I'm still riding. Other than that... I'm here.

 

Try moving to Canda and riding in -30° weather in the winter. Not gunna happen
I am going to take up snowboarding and see if that helps satisfy my need for speed.

 

Its killin' me too man. What's worse is that I started riding just before it got too cold, so I'm on my honeymoon phase still. Even if there's a nice day out, I can't go for a ride because I stored the bike at a dealership.

 

1.This forum. 2.Do mods on my bike while there's snow on the ground and i can't ride it. 3.Play motorcycle video games. 4.Snowmobile or snowboard.

 

I am going very crazy. Last time I rode was the end of november, when we got a nice 50 somethin' degree day. I mean, the roads here are still wet, haven't been dry for a while, and you can't really enjoy riding when your feet are freezing and you are worried about downsiding on a turn. Only 3 more month's guys

 

Why did you put your bike up at a dealership? Just wondering what kind of deal they gave you.

 

It is 54 degrees here and its too cold for me to ride. Maybe I am getting too much estrogen in my diet.

 

Ya something is definitely wrong with you. Just Joking. I know there are a few of us bike addicts on here that would kill for a 50 some degree day right now. I'd be out there riding in the 20's and 30's we're having, but along with the cold there is a foot of snow.
