- December 12, 2013, 07:37:37 AMWell, we had 5*F this morning. That's -15*C I should say (That sounds SO MUCH COLDER). It's supposed to reach 15F/ -9C this afternoon. What LOVELY fall weather - it's not even Winter yet, you know. I know, I know - for you "Northern Boys", this IS NICE fall weather. I shouldn't complain, but it's cold for here for now.
Cold enough to freeze the brass.... well you know. Definitely NOT riding weather, at least for me...
But they say if you don't like the weather in OHIO, wait a minute... It's supposed to reach freezing on Saturday. Who knows, maybe I'll take a drive in the truck to go see what trouble I can get into.

My winter project parts arrived today...adapting a Nomad rear seat to the '99 horse shoe so I can use my VERY comfy solo seat and still have passenger accommodations when necessary. Pictures as the work progresses... At this point, looks to be a pretty easy mod.
Just got me thinking - I hate winter more and more the older I get ..... By the time I get to be your age, I'm gonna REALLY hate it!!

well once the snow stay's on the ground and the lake is ice covered I think the prudent choice is to park the bike and drive the truck. Troll does WI give insurance discounts for use of winter tires?
FYI North Bay is the line across ON where if you have a address North Bay or north you are allowed to have studded tires over the winter, love going to visit my sister, when I do put them on and have the local police pull me over for them
Enjoy your riding, and now for PC to come and crow about his ability to still be riding.......

- November 30, 2013, 15:06:44 PM45 deg...for a while. I had to get rid of the old lawn mower fuel, so it made a good combination of what to and excuse....Ice is forming on the main channel, but not enough to close it, yet. Some of the back waters are ice covered, but not thick enough to go ice fishing yet...Glad I have the car, but that's only for real winter. Still seeing some geese flying South, so maybe it's going to be ok for a while, yet.

You may, if you wish, call me predudiced, but I was bought up many years ago to have different beliefs about men and women than many of you younger people....gloves..avoid battery heated gloves, they are useless, the batteries last about 50 yards if you are lucky..riding gloves with a liner of some sort, wool, plastic, thin leather..and heated grips, if fitted correctly are one of the wonders of riding, I turn mine on to the Hi setting for a few seconds just as the frost starts to nip my fingers, then I turn them off as soon as I feel the heat through my gloves, none of this trying to keep my hands toasty..this method keeps the frost at bay and protects my battery and also cuts down on wear to the heating element.
John.
I actually don't agree with the hting about the battery powered heated gloves. The battery heated gloves are a lot better than the hhooked up ones. If you can find a battery pack that is strong enough... you'll have enough power/heat for a while.
