RIDING IN 35 DEGREE (WIND CHILL 25 DEGREE ) WHO ELSE

[sidthesloth]

Ahh, Whyalla South Australia, 35 degrees celcius today, not riding sid (ZX 50) today, on Suzuki GS 500 to give her a bit of use. We don't get very cold here, mid winter it gets down to about zero occasionaly which is nothing to what you blokes get but it is riding weather all year round.
Holty, we passed through Warnambool a few years ago on a driving holiday, wife absolutely loved the place, suggested we sell up and move there.
With regards to bikes I will have to try to post up some pics.

THAT'S GREAT--KEEP ON SCOOTING SHOW-OFF   THE WAY THING LOOK LIKE NOW SNOW HITS EVERWHERE IN THE US

Personal record was -18°C (-0.4°F) on a 50cc scooter 60km (one way) to the office. Time about 1:45 h:min instead of usual 1:30 because of ice/snow on the road. At that time I had no special mc equipment, only jet helmet and several layers of normal clothes.
I'm not anxious for repeating that trip. -11°C last winter was enough for an old man.

NOW THAT WAS COOOOOOOOLD AND YOU SURVIVED

Aggghhhhh, it' snowing again.  What happened to that global warming stuff?  

OBARK, I knew they ware crazy in NYC, but tell us about riding in the snow.  You do anything to the tires?  I think my X500 would be too much in the snow.  I will venture out when it's cold, but turn chicken when the white stuff starts hitting the ground. It hurts to fall and plastic is too expensive.

THE X-500 IS A BIGGER SCOOTER BUT MY SUPER 9 IS MORE MANAGEABLE AND EASY TO HOLD UP IN THE SNOW---SO DON'T DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
