How many of people are still riding this winter?

[Meme]

I rode the GZ today in Reno, and got some surprised looks and was called "hard core". :lol:

Hey, the snow melted and the rain mostly dried up. I'm saving money on gas. :2tup:

So what's the weather like, and anyone still riding?

Of course :whistle: What's snow? :lol: Oh, I just remembered. It's that cold white stuff that used to fall from the sky in England, many years ago. :neener: :roll:

(I just love to rub it in :retard: :lol: )

I have people comment to me all the time about my riding. It seems that just riding a motorcycle invites it. Regardless of season people will come up to me out of nowhere to tell me that motorcycles are dangerous. Others will ask about the bike itself. In the winter, when the temps are below 40 peope will comments that I must be cold. I then demonstrate all the layers I'm wearing.

Luckily It hasn't gotten cold enough for me to wear anything other than jeans and chaps and my jacket with my gloves that I wear all year round. granted I do have liners for my gloves and jacket. I haven't had to buy anything extra. However when it gets below 40 I cheat and put on my rain gear even though there is only fog but the condensation freezes me.( I live at a lake so there is always fog in cold weather snaps)

I never ride in the winter.

The bike has been sleeping since Oct 19. There have been days when I could have been out riding but the thought of layering up is just exhuasting let alone actually doing it. Ironically the good days are also the ones when I have a lot of errands to do and the truck is so much more convenient. I am also a bit of a wuss when cooler weather shows up. This coming from a prairie boy who used to think -30/-40 F with sunshine was a great day.

We went nuts and got all the heated gear to wear just to find out that when you reach your destination and stop you tend to cook unless you can easily strip down. Tour Master heated gear is great insulation without the power being turned on.
