    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Do you own a car? Maybe you should just park the bike until the weather gets warmer.

Riding in freezing temperatures is no fun unless you've got a goldwing like steve ;)

Hey, who said it was "fun"? :eek:

Having the wind pushed away from you with a monster fairing and wearing heated clothing just makes it "tolerable". :D

What's really "fun" is to see the look on people's faces in their cars. They think I'm out here freezing, they have no idea how cozy I am.

I do have a car, and sold my truck last night so now I've got a little more space to work (in the yard) but no solid ground and no cover. (which is why I wish I had somebody to help me out.)

On my test drive (i have no front fairing and no windshield) it was in the 30's outside and the only part of me that even got slightly cold was my fingers. The gear I bought seems to be performing very well, I just need some sort of riding pants. I was wearing my double knee dickies work pants, so after 30 mins or so my knee caps start to feel cool but next to the engine even the legs stay warm. The boots - forget it.. my feet were sweating.

I can imagine being completely warm on a bike which has a front fairing or even just a windshield. I do prefer the temp to be 40 or better to ride though.

My father and best friend both said "are you kidding me, come on it's winter you can't ride the bike through the winter.. what are you thinking?" haha

Seriously though, there is nothing more fun than riding a motorcycle that you can do by yourself.
 
I rode for 2 hours coming back from Reading PA, 65 mph+, temp was in high forties, high winds and I froze my ass off. Bike has a windshield, insulated jacket, boots, gloves..didn't make any difference. I was so miserable, I had to stop at a walmart and buy extra clothes.
