wooo. I rode in this morning.

[Monsoon X]

my hands got cold.

I had some thermals under my ICONs and shirt.

I'm glad I kept my Frank Thomas jacket. It's much warmer than that Fieldsheer.

[Ylw 98~~SNAKE~~]

even with gloves your hands still got cold??

[Evile753]

Yeah, I might try that.

[Monsoon X]

had to use the choke lever this morning also. The bike wouldn't idle or and would sputter and then cut off. So I figured it was because of the cold weather. I had to pull the choke lever up to get it to idle high enough, so it could warm up.

I rode this morning too. I had a MotoGP Jacket with the liner in, ski gloves and ski mask on. I really need to invest in some warmer pants. ;)

I have ridden this whole week. Even though I am in Austin the temps here have been pretty close to what it is in Dallas. Pretty cold thats for sure, but I have ridden in colder this last winter. Definitely try the ski gloves or at Cycle Gear they sell a thin glove you can put on your hands and then put your glove over them, those work pretty well too.

On this note: what is the coldest ACTUAL temperature you have ridden in?

For me it was: mid to low 30's(this past winter)

[evil jose]

It's like 40° here right now. I rode in yesterday, to hell with that :eek:

[Evile753]

I'm getting my bike during lunch .....

the cheapest solution, and one that works GREAT! is to get some latex gloves, and put those on under whatever other gloves you're wearing, after a few minutes your hands will start sweating and those latex's will save your ass :cool:

I think almost all of us have eben caught in the cold at least once or twice whether we wanted it that way or not. I think the coldest I've actually ridden in was about 40 degrees with a windchill around 35.

[Thurston]

[Thurston]

[Super Coupe]

I ride in everything. Just be careful if you want to hit a turn in this cold. I almost high sided due to cold temps in my tires. Its like u are on ice.

[Monsoon X]

Tamestang- Yeah, I noticed that about the tires and cold.
