i have problems with my hands getting cold when riding in winter, my husband bought me some handle bar mitts used for 4 wheelers during hunting season. they look funny,but they keep your hands amazingly warm and they attach and remove with velcro. easy on / easy off.they have plenty of room to use your clutch and brake.he bought a pair for his harley also,but they don;t fit as well as on my 250.

Let's see. It has warmed up to 16F and the wind chill makes it 2F so I really haven't been thinking about riding for quite some time here in Illinois. Nice pictures

ChrisK! Like the armadillo. Saw a dead one along the road in Missouri a few years ago. Looks like you've had some flooding like we have!

Where abouts in Texas, it looks like the north, but I could be wrong. Ever make it around to west Texas, Weather here is great and the roads are all flat and strait, so the Gz has no problems at all.

This is a pretty good photo, ChrisK.

Can you make it any bigger? I'd like to use it as a wallpaper.

I also wonder, where did everone go ? Its to cold, and to much snow to ride here, is everyone else out riding but me? It helps me to ride the computer during these bad days. Hope they go away soon. CMS

I'm in North Georgia and yeah, it's pretty chilly outside. However, I still ride at least once or twice per week. Yesterday it rained and it was near freezing.

Maybe the better question should be how many of us ride for "fun" and how many of us use our motorcycles are vehicles? I would assume that the people who use their bike as a vehicle ride more often and would be inclinced to ride more often in bad weather.

I ride my bike to and from work EVERYDAY. I like to ride for fun on the weekends. When it is daylight out for a longer period after work I will ride more for fun then. I feel for all of you people that live in cold places.

Regarding the question about glasses versus contacts...I had been wearing glasses with a full face helmet, but was having a lot of trouble keeping the glasses from fogging when it was cold (30's). Everytime I would have to stop at a light, my breath was fogging the glasses, so I would be constantly raising and lowering the visor. So...this past week, I switched to contacts and what a BIG improvement. I can keep the visor down now all the time...no more cold wind in the face. If you can wear contacts, I would highly recommend switching...it's one less agravation.
