hey! welcome!!! drop in whenever you want! Just don't drop the bike 

ENJOY!!! 

Hi! Welcome! 

We're not sposta drop our bikes!? 

Hi Gary

yea droping bikes is a no no 

  hi everyone!! hows the riding the bike thing going on? i just drove mine like 30 minutes ago and its 30* outside  almost froze!

 30* thats what im talking about, none of this "put it away for winter" crap. 

still have snow on the ground here.

although not too long ago I did get caught in an early fall storm. rode my bike home from work at some ass freezing temp and slushy wet snow. by the time i got home my hans were so wet and cold they turned a light purple and blue 

Welcome!

I took me last ride of the season today.  I had to go meet some classmates for a group final project.

It was around 35, but I needed to test out my newly purchased overpants from MotoGP.

Welcome!

It was 82 today here in the Sun Shine state 

Use the search feature for some toasty mods. Heated parts and such.

Welcome to the nuthouse!

30 degrees?  It's still warm out!    

Hey Ann how did you like those Moto GP overpant's .  I have been thinking about getting a pair.  Did you size up to go over your clothing? 

Thanks
Graham

I liked 'em...  Of course I only rode in them for about 90 minutes total.  But I was kept warm.  According to the site, you only order the same pant size.  I'm a fat 36" waist.  I ordered the 36".  In order for them to fit, I needed to remove the removable liner and the hip pads.

Another downfall is that I'm short.  30" inseam.  The pants are 32".  So I have a slight bulge at my ankles.

Other than that, I'm pissed that I can't wear them until next April or so...

Welcome, I just bought what you bought.  A 2006 GS500F.

,,,and it snowed last night and is still going, grrr.

Thanks An,  I am a 32 waist and @ 31 - 32 length.  I guess I will get the 32.  I hate the style of all the overpants, but I think I can deal with the moto GP's.  I am getting them so I can put them on to go to work.  Hopefully they will be easy on and easy off. 

Regards
Graham

Do you have winter gloves and a winter jacket?  If so, you can still ride!  (And, I mean motorcycle winter gloves and jacket  )

i froze my ass off this morn...it's amazing how used to the warm you become after moving back to the Bay Area after living in Chicago for 3 years.

I have to get used to the cold again every damned winter. All of a sudden, temps are in the 30's in the morning, and I wake up and go every morning. This past weekend was amazing for riding, though.....   

welcome gary!

Thanks everyone!!! yea i bought a shift racing jacket with the armor thing so when i got it i tried it on gave it a ride and im like wow its  frezzing !! so i look at the jacket it said "fully vented jacket for maximum cooling in hot weather"     its winter!!! i needed a warm jacket but oh well it will be good in the summer!!
