I amwith you guys I will ride aslong as no snow on the roads. I love the looks I get when snow on the ground and I have the bike out. I is not too bad with the the right gear on. In winter if I want a long ride I get out the couch (84 goldwing aspy) mint heated everything.

I'll ride in whatever temp but I only have two problems.

1. my face shield fogs up so freaking easy
2. my neck burns from the cold

anyone have any cures for either?

I don't have a car so I have to ride the bike no matter what and I live in WI. =(

I rode last winter (if you can call 3 weeks of brisk weather "winter" down here.), it got down to the upper 20's, and I was still out commuting with my bike.

Now, I won't go out and ride around for fun in that temperature, but a the time, my car didn't work, so I rode and I was actually fine with it.

Super bowl sunday this year I rode from Macon to North Atlanta on i75... it was around 95 miles and it rained half the time... I found out once I got there that it was 23degrees outside the entire time.
doesn't water freeze at 32F?

or do the laws of physics cease to exist in georgia?

I know when it hit March, the sun was making occasional appearances, and it topped 40 I couldn't get on the bike fast enough. [sm=bounceybounce.gif]
