Member Contributer WIN6 Posted December 10, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 10, 2014 My 46deg ride in at 80mph shows the following: Old 20.95 New 31.9 NOAA 32 So, for South Florida, that's cold Technically, I think that counts as freezing.

Wait 'til an earthquake needs to be outrun. We only have the occasional tornado to dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR4Lee Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 If you're having a mudslide, the fire is out. You don't want to get caught in either one. Tough to outrun an earthquake when there is zero warning that your groove thing is gonna shake hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer FromMaine Posted December 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 20, 2014 Got back home last week after being away for 5 months for work and wanted to run some gas through the VFR as I had never drained the bowls before I left. As it was going to snow the next day I saddled up and hit the road with the temp @ 24 F. Only got up to 75 as there are no highways or even decent long stretch's of tarmac in the area. No matter, the tires rode like they were coated in Teflon anyway, they're Bridgestone S-20's, great in the summer, not so much in the winter. 0 F on the new scale, -16 F on the old. I've got a few V4's, but only one with heated grips. Guess which one I was on. Think I remembered it before I put the bike back in the garage?

Think I remembered it before I put the bike back in the garage? So, you took the bike with heated grips, but forgot to turn them on? Doh! 70 some degrees at home today, 50's in the mountains. Nice day to ride. Wind is blowing hard tonight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallCarver Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Been riding daily to work at 4:45 am. Temp in the 20s and 30s daily. Sometimes 40s. One of the times I checked it was 22*F and I hit 95 mph for a -5*F wind chill. Since Christmas, I have a jacket with sleeves long enough (nearly an impossible find). Those numb wrists make everything else feel warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Recalcitrance Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 You were riding at this time, why? Return home was pushed one day late due to vision issues. Had to stop and find a hotel to rest my eyes, then leave (very) early morning to get through LA and OC before traffic got bad. No telling when my vision would give out again. (LASIK results have been a PITA.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
